SUMMARY:The Librarian
DESCRIPTION:At first glance\, Paul-Émile Dumoulin seems like just a regular librarian. He is serious\, proud and very orderly. Every book is in its place on his impeccable shelves. The only problem? As soon as Paul-Émile gets his nose in a book\, reality disappears\, giving way to the slightly crazy worlds he discovers between the pages. \nOn his adventures\, the very sensible librarian metamorphoses. He suddenly turns into strange and silly characters who perform acrobatics\, balancing\, juggling\, break dancing and beatboxing. Just how far will reading take him? \nThis show blends clowning\, physical theatre and the circus arts. It invites young audiences to discover the passion of reading and the power of the imagination\, which whisks readers away to faraway lands\, on an adventure\, or into a romance or thriller. \nAt Brisbane Powerhouse from 1-3 October 2026. \nFIND OUT MORE
