This is the story of a quest imagined by choreographer Sylvain Riéjou and author-illustrator Hervé Walbecq: that of two characters guided by a strange creature, The Fish Who Lived in Trees (Le Poisson qui vivait dans les arbres). A lively world, half animal, half plant, projected onto a large screen, composes the fabulous landscapes in which they venture. A joyful journey through the living world.
