Description
The tale
Indrazaal lives on an island at the top of a mountain. One morning, following an enchanting dream, the child embarks on a quest to meet the ocean. But how will Indrazaal get off the mountain and across the island if they do not know the way? Through their encounters with flora and fauna, Indrazaal takes us on a journey to discover the island’s ecological beauty. With gentleness and poetry, we discover its strength, magic, and resilience.
The activity
Following the reading of her tale, Indrazaal et la quête de l’océan, Kama La Mackerel offers a creative visual arts workshop. Through drawing, painting, and collage, young participants will explore the links between their feelings and the ocean, insularity, territories, and local ecologies. The workshop provides a space for creative expression, personal reflection, and the sharing of ideas.
Duration : 1h30 (25 min storytelling and 1 hour workshop)
