Les P'tits Géants Festival

10th Edition - October 18 to 24, 2025

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Les P'tits Géants festival offered an exceptional anniversary edition. Ten years of stories, emotions, and poetry woven from threads, paper, and wood were celebrated with the audience during a week full of discoveries.

Program

Six shows were presented during twelve performances at L'Amphi:

• Le Monologue d'un chien bien coiffé (The Monologue of a Well-Groomed Dog) – A dog confides its daily joys and troubles to the groomers, offering a sensitive reflection on aging (opening show)
• La Brouille (The Quarrel) – Two rabbit neighbors in conflict learn to cooperate
• P.P. Project – Peter, a passionate reader, teaches a bird to fly
• Un Océan d'amour (An Ocean of Love) – The epic of a missing fisherman and his devoted wife, between paper and visual poetry
• Quand les hommes auront des ailes (When Men Have Wings) – Mr. Toulemonde invents flying machines
• Un personnage sans histoire (A Character Without a Story) – A being in search of identity and meaning
