Laïka

Puppets - From 8 years - 55 minutes
Xirriquiteula Teatre

1957. We are in Moscow.
Right in the middle of the Cold War and the space race. Laïka is a dog surviving on the streets of the frozen city. She has no idea that her destiny will take her into space aboard the Sputnik II shuttle and that she will become the first living thing to orbit the Earth. Laika's story may have been an exciting adventure, but it didn't have such a happy ending... At least for the protagonist of this story. Xirriquiteula Teatre takes advantage of Laïka's adventures to tell the parallel story of those who find themselves victims of abuse and unwittingly caught up in the power struggles of others.

ORGANISER
Mi-Scène is a non-profit association governed entirely by volunteers. It was set up in 2003 to programme professional contemporary theatre in the Chapelle de la Congrégation in Poligny's Grande Rue, as well as in Arbois and the surrounding villages.
Mi-Scène is supported by the DRAC Bourgogne Franche-Comté, the Conseil Régional de Bourgogne Franche-Comté, the Conseil Départemental du Jura, the Mairie de Poligny, the Mairie d'Arbois, the Communauté de Commune du Val d'Amour and the Communauté de Communes Coeur du Jura.
Mi-Scène provides local residents with access to quality shows, giving them a genuine cultural identity that is accessible to all audiences at a lower cost.
Its collaboration with schools means that children, secondary school pupils and high school students can benefit from a range of activities aimed at them.
In short, Mi-Scène contributes to the popular education that underpins its founding principles, and to the appeal of its region, through the shows it puts on and the partnerships it forges.
Holders of the Mi-Scène membership card will benefit from reduced rates throughout the year: Membership card: €20
ATTENTION: Tickets reserved and not collected 1/4 hour before the start of the show may be put back on sale.
ATTENTION: to be sure of getting a seat, don't hesitate to book!
