Description

The great magician Kosmao and his charismatic assistant Goupil, a stuffed fox, invite the public to a top-notch cabaret, with dazzling magic acts.
The tricks follow, but this mechanic is interrupted, because Goupil is a rebellious assistant and only does what he wants. After all, before he had this job, he was first a fox and then a stole or scarf for a fashionable Parisian lady…. Goupil is now on the threshold of stardom as an apprentice to a great magician and he won’t stop there…
An unlikely and humorous duo, where a peculiar puppet slowly steals the show from the magician Kosmao and the magic gradually takes us into the universe of animation. Étienne Saglio created a charming and hilarious show, to discover as a family, in a tribute to the Tex Avery and Pixar studios.
Tamer of ghosts and charmer of wolves, Étienne became a figure of new magic. Each of his shows is presented as a journey into the world of illusion, where minds are confused and references are shaken. Without a single word, he manages to take viewers away from his daily life and offers them the opportunity to open their imagination and let themselves be carried away by his invention.

 

In this show, people smoke on stage.
