Step into a world where stories leap off the page in this delightful circus adventure for the September 2026 school holidays. Created especially for children aged 5–12 and their families, this playful performance proves that books are anything but boring!

Meet Paul‑Émile Dumoulin, a very serious and very tidy librarian—at least on the outside. His bookshelves are spotless and every book is exactly where it should be. But the moment Paul‑Émile starts reading, something magical happens. Reality fades away and he is swept into wild, wonderful worlds filled with imagination and surprise.

As the stories come to life, our sensible librarian transforms into a cast of silly and spectacular characters, showing off acrobatics, balancing, juggling, breakdancing and even beatboxing. Blending circus skills, clowning, and physical theatre, this high‑energy show celebrates the joy of reading and the power of imagination.
