She likes the simple pleasures of life. But now her new job starts to disrupt her safe and known universe. How will she juggle her amusements and her responsibilities? This show combines full-face mask, live music, text and mime. It’s humorous, poetic, and above all it exudes visual strength.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Betty knits. It’s her favourite pleasure. She knits, she makes mistakes, she drops stitches and she gets wrapped up in her wool ... oh what a tangled web she weaves! How like life, when we’re faced with choices, and don’t know which is the right one for our family and ourselves. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Creative Team</strong></p> <p> Director, mask creator and actor : Tracey Boot</p> <p> Music and actor  : Hélène Lenoir</p> <p> Assistant director  : Haïm Isaac</p> <p> Lighting and crew : Gilles Viret &amp; Laurent Evêque</p> <p> Set design : Tracey Boot &amp; Gilles Viret</p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=http%3A%2F%2Fplayer.vimeo.com%2Fvideo%2F87487440&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;src_secure=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F87487440&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.vimeocdn.com%2Fvideo%2F465560792_1280.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=vimeo" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>The Mitten, a musical story</strong></p> <p> For Family audiences (3 yrs+)</p> <p> Running time 50 minutes ( 30min. show + 20min. of mask play with the audience) </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Lamoufle2014_dsc_0619" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/84868/LaMoufle2014_DSC_0619.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>The story </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> "it is a cold winters day, a mitten has been lost in the snow...</p> <p> "Lost, but not for long as the frozen animals of the forest gather to share this little refuge".</p> <p> The animals talk about the difficulties they encounter, the severity of the winter, their snowy forest...
