OCEAN COMMOTION



Alliance Francaise presents OCEAN COMMOTION

 

JOURNEY UNDER THE SEA THROUGH 3 TIMELESS TALES

Dive into a magical underwater adventure with three enchanting tales from Japan and China! After delighting audiences in June 2025, this production is back by popular demand —with more colourful fish swimming across the stage.
Told in both English and French, the stories come to life through playful puppets, mesmerizing projections and imaginative props that fascinate children and adults alike. The lively script keeps the action flowing in both languages, making it easy for everyone to follow the journey — no matter which language you speak. Musicians from Our Music Studio provide live music and sound effects throughout the show.


DON’T MISS THE CATCH OF THE DAY!

 

  • THE LITTLE CRAB draws on the Japanese art of kamishibai, (storytelling with pictures). There is a lot of vocal audience interaction throughout, as Little Crab learns to act responsibly and make new friends.
  • URASHIMA TARO, one of the most popular folktales in Japan, involves a journey on a turtle’s back, a deep dive to a sunken Palace where a fisherman meets an enchanting Princess. It is a highly theatrical sequence featuring 25 fish & sea creatures!
  • HOW TO BECOME A DRAGON is a comical Chinese tale, in which a small creature with a big dream manages to overcome an intimidating obstacle in order to achieve her goal!

WHAT PARENTS SAID ABOUT OCEAN COMMOTION

 

  •  “This show is pure joy. The Little Crab was stunning (our little one keeps imitating him!), and the Urashima Taro scene with the sea creatures puppets stole the kids (and parents!) hearts!
  •  “A beautiful show with puppets, music, colours… My kids were totallyengaged, and I loved how the bilingual storytelling made it accessible for everyone.
  • Magnifique ! Des décors visuels superbes, de la musique en direct et des histoires qui font rêver… même les adultes retombent en enfance. Mention spéciale au Petit Crabe, tellement mignon!
  •  “Un spectacle familial qui sort de l’ordinaire : marionnettes, projections, humour et émotion. Les enfants étaient captivés du début à la fin. À voir absolument !
