Artistic idea
New creation based on the second musical book always without words for children to discover playfully jazz music (all kinds of jazz). Jazzoo2 is a musical stage show featuring a delightful cartoon aimed at young and old alike, where a groovy, funny, incredibly bubbly jazz combo creates a instrumental dialogue with the moving images to recount the new adventures of animals and their emotions.
An interactive show whose miniature stories cleverly illustrate the values of friendship, sharing, equality...
It’s a playful, exciting, and imaginative journey where neither the musicians, the children, nor the animals know how its going to end.
Will the worm make it to escape the birds and find something to eat himself ? and will the hen be persuasive to help the rooster regain the joy of crowing?
Main costs
