A theatre play: stage professions around the show "Les sept planches de la ruse"
This show, based on an ancient Chinese game and staged by a juggler and a trained physicist, with Chinese artistes, will be the departure point for this visit, which will allow you to familiarize yourself with the various professions, without which a theatre would not be able to function: stage decor, costumes, and lighting will all feature in the explanations given to you.
