Doudou Loupapapoul - Peggy Faure

Welcoming Doudou Loupapapoul to Acte 2 Théâtre

At Acte 2 Théâtre, we are delighted to open our doors to Doudou Loupapapoul, a tender, playful creation carried onstage by Peggy Faure. Our venue thrives on intimate encounters between artists and audiences, and this production embodies exactly that spirit: a shared, close-up moment where imagination leads the way and every detail is designed to feel personal. Families visiting our theatre will find a warm, accessible environment tailored to young spectators, with careful attention to comfort, visibility, and the gentle pacing that early learners embrace. As a house that champions storytelling and the tactile magic of live performance, we are proud to host a work that blends gesture, music, and delicate humor into a compact, engaging experience. We believe Doudou Loupapapoul fits seamlessly into our season’s focus on live arts for all generations, particularly those first, formative encounters with the stage. Expect a show that encourages curiosity and connection—an invitation to listen, look, and play along—crafted by an artist whose presence is as reassuring as it is expressive.

Inside the world of Doudou Loupapapoul

Doudou Loupapapoul invites children into a universe where emotions are clear, colors are gentle, and the story unfolds at a child’s pace. On our stage at Acte 2 Théâtre, Peggy Faure uses a finely tuned physical vocabulary—small gestures, responsive looks, rhythmic steps—to keep young attention focused without ever overwhelming. The scenography favors simple shapes, tactile materials, and warm light cues that gradually reveal spaces and surprises. Music and vocal textures glide through the performance, supporting transitions and encouraging participation through repetition and refrain. The narrative path is intentionally accessible, with enough playful mischief to spark laughter and enough tenderness to create a sense of safety. We particularly appreciate how the piece makes room for children’s responses; silences breathe, discoveries land, and a shared complicity grows between the performer and the audience. For accompanying adults, the work offers a poetic mirror of early childhood: the comfort of a cherished object, the tug of curiosity, and the gentle bravery needed to try something new. Presented in the intimate proportions of Acte 2 Théâtre, the show’s nuances—soft sounds, textures, and glances—become vividly present, allowing each child to feel addressed and welcomed.

As a creator and performer, Peggy Faure continues to cultivate an artistic approach rooted in care, attention, and the playful power of rhythm and ritual. Her recent work highlights the importance of live presence for young audiences, foregrounding interaction without pressure and discovery without fear. From our vantage point at Acte 2 Théâtre, where we regularly support projects that speak to families and school groups alike, her practice resonates strongly: it embraces the realities of first-theatre experiences while honoring the sophistication of children’s perceptions. With Doudou Loupapapoul, she deepens this trajectory, offering a piece that is both finely crafted and joyfully open to the room. We welcome her ongoing research into music-inflected storytelling, her sensitivity to sensory design, and her commitment to performances that travel lightly yet leave lasting memories. For those joining us, expect a compact running time, a cosy visual world, and a performer who meets you eye-to-eye. Whether this is your family’s first visit to Acte 2 Théâtre or one of many, we are thrilled to share this new date with Peggy Faure and to celebrate the living connection that only a theatre, a caring artist, and an attentive audience can create together.
