The Librarian @Berninneit Cowes

The Librarian - An Acrobatic Live Children's Circus Show!

This very sensible librarian has a problem, as soon as he gets his nose in a book, reality disappears. Suddenly he is juggling, climbing poles, performing acrobatics and break dancing.

“What an amazing show and actor!” parent review

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. On 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?

This 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.
