Shows for the whole family
The Théâtre des Célestins doesn’t stop there: it also offers two creations to enjoy with the family. R.O.B.I.N., a modern and engaging version of the famous Robin Hood, provides a sharp look at current crises while still being suitable for kids. And Salto, an astonishing show bringing together eleven artists who explore weightlessness with urban dance, in a high-flying choreographic challenge.
