PREMIERE
In French
Dorice has a cat whose best friend is a mouse named Hector. She is troubled by the sudden passing of her neighbour, Mr. Nicolas. Among all the stories surrounding his demise, Dorice’s imagination is sparked by the rumour suggesting that Mr. Nicolas had died of a broken heart because his life had been a failure.
She is convinced that you must succeed in life if you don’t want to die of a broken heart. She convinces her friend Hector to set off in search of people who seem to enjoy an enviable fate, hoping she can discover their secrets to a successful life. During their quest, they meet a wealthy businessman, an internationally successful pop singer, a cheerful short-order cook, and an old hermit who lives in a cave, before finally reaching the pinnacle of their journey when they get to talk with the Sun and the Moon. . .

Since 1973, the Théâtre de l’Œil’s raison d’être has been to champion and develop puppetry arts. By inspiring children to dream, laugh and think, but also thanks to the ingenuity of its puppets and the originality of the themes it tackles, the company has built a solid reputation, and its productions are performed in Canada and around the world.
