A green merry-go-round theater
The cow story
The “Vache de manège” tells the story of a funny herd of cows that has just left the stables at the end of the winter. The cows rediscover their freedom to graze the grass as they see fit, and also the wish to travel and allow others to discover their wonderful world.
My goodness, cows !
The merry-go-round can accommodate up to twelve children at one time and allow them to discover a most interesting herd :
- spinning dummy
- cow plane
- cow angel
- bee-cow
- milk-churn shuttle
- cow on wheels
- cow four feet in the air
- dancing cow
- skateboarding cow
- musician cow
- swimming cow.
These 10 iconoclastic cows are on the run from a comic strip and will take your children on a journey across pastures and world of sounds...
The unique creation of the ”orgameuh” (the mooh organ).
Who hasn’t heard the sweet sound of tinkering cowbells across the fields and mountain pastures ?
The “orgameuh” is a one-of-a-kind organ created by Christian Fournier and made up of 19 different cowbells made by the Devouassoud bell house in Chamonix, as well as ‘mooh’ boxes and milk-churns...
Our contemporary mooh-music has been especially created for this organ.
The organ can be seen for the first time at the International Mechanical Music Festival in Les Gets on the 16th to the 18th July 2010, and after that, it will accompany the ”Vache de manège”.
But how does it work ?
The whole family gets to enter the universe of mountain pasture life. Children aged 2 to 6 years old get to climb onto the cows, each more surprising than the other. And the parents do not remain idle either; if they have forgotten how to milk a cow, they will have to learn again, or the merry-go-round will not work ! The energy is thus purely parental driven !
To be noted
Public : from 2 to 6 years old on the merry-go-round. From 18 to 99 years old on the parental power.
