In Western Africa under a blazing sun, stands a forest of baobabs and in the middle of
this forest, a huge and ancient baobab. One day, this ancient baobab brings forth an
egg. From this egg is born a little boy. But who is he? All the people in the village take
care of him and he becomes known as “the little boy who had an entire village for
parents". In search for his roots, he will discover that is the only one who can dig into
the heart of the baobab to release the source of the water…
In December 2007, Motus produced an outdoor theatre event: BUBBLES, winter legends for
micro-puppets. Three hot-air bubbles made up of white material that allows people to see both
from the outside and the inside, light projections and shadows. Three different short plays run simultaneously in the bubbles: an Indian legend, Otjiera and the dream fast; an Inuit legend, Élisapie and the northern lights and a Quebec legend, The flying-canoe. In small groups of 25 per bubble, spectators step inside and see in turn the three legends that make up this theatre route.
