Max et les Ogres
For young audiences
French presentation.
Max and his musicians friends are late for their concert… Thierry and Laura, who play oboe and bassoon, took too much time to clean their reed and store their instrument. Trying to be on time for their show, the three musicians decide to take a shorcut and venture in the dark forest near the town where they live. But a rather peculiar family of ogres live in this forest : as nobody ever passes through this dark wood, the ogres became vegetarian !! They usually feed on mushrooms, and these three musicians making their way across their forest bushes is an opportunity not to be missed !
Marionettist and talented storyteller Karine St-Arnaud joins Pentaèdre’s musicians to give life to this surprising encounter between the three musicians friends and the ogres family. The musicians lend their voice and instruments to the protagonists of this extraordinary story, using the wind quintet instruments’ brilliant and original tones to evoke the dark forest, the atmosphere in the group of musicians late for their concert, and the questioning of an ogre who wonders if a clarinetist would taste better than a mushroom!!
