A production for all audiences

On a quiet night, Robert the Pig (Robert le Cochon) learns that his friend Mercibocou the Wolf has been kidnapped by Trashella, the owner of the big garbage dump. To set him free, the boldness of Robert the Pig, the passion of Nouille the Frog and the complicity of the Moon will be necessary.

These heroes have long been creatures animated by Ivan Grinberg’s imagination for his children’s bedtime: stories meant for falling asleep and traveling, for dreaming and laughing. In 2005 Marc-Olivier Dupin first composed a musical tale.

In 2014 the characters plunge into the mystery of the big garbage dump filled with heaps of rubbish more or less gifted for music.

The score makes use of all the musical means of expression, and the stage all the driving forces behind drama: a good opportunity to make our kids opera fans!
