Film Le Ballon Rouge by Albert Lamorisse (1956)

Original music by Étienne Meyer performed on ancient instruments

Paris, 1950: Pascal, a 6-year-old toddler, releases a red balloon attached to a streetlamp. This balloon begins to follow him everywhere he goes, thus becoming his friend. This astonishing complicity arouses the curiosity, then the jealousy of the older ones, who, trying in vain to appropriate this tamed balloon, end up bursting it …

Between humor and sensitivity, this magnificent cinematographic tale, delicately underlined here by the musical composition of Étienne Meyer, is a call to travel in a poetic and dreamlike universe. You will come out enchanted.

Duration 45mn. For the whole family, from age 3 years upward
A “ballon de rouge”, i.e. a glass of red wine, will be offered to adults at the exit of the public performance for a friendly moment in the company of the artists.

For each version, the characters and music will be in tune with the nation evoked using rare works, full of charm and rarely devoid of humor… Four countries, but also four tastes: Andrea Gaia, chef of the gourmet restaurant Le Roc at the Hôtel de Rougemont, has composed a specific menu to illustrate each scene of this show in terms of taste. Bitterness, acidity, saltiness and sweetness will be put at the service of the story. A taste journey in the baroque musical space-time that the audience will appreciate not only with their eyes and ears but also with their palate.

Duration: approximately 2 hours
Lunch show, seating at round tables
Unique and gourmet 4 course menu (vegetarian option possible) at the price of CHF 100.– per person, wine and water included
