Event Description
A zany brass band is ready to whisk you away on a hilarious musical adventure—with a honk, and a toot, and a rat-a-tat-tat! Under the guidance of a bossy yet bird-brained bandleader, this merry crew sets off to explore the world (and beyond!)—from Canada to Brazil to Ukraine and back, with a detour to Planet Mars! Blending world music, clowning, and playful choreography, this high-energy show bursts with humour, rhythm, and cultural discovery. A joyful adventure where every chair might just turn into a drum!

Winner of the Opus Award for Best Musical Production for Young Audiences.

Tout droit sortie de Toutencalçon, cette fanfare déjantée — menée par un chef aussi pompeux que farfelu — entraîne les enfants dans un voyage musical du Québec au Brésil, en passant par l’Ukraine… et même Mars ! Alliant musique du monde, art clownesque et chorégraphies ludiques, ce spectacle haut en couleur regorge d’humour, de rythmes et de découvertes culturelles.
