Scott's Note A Musical Performance & Workshop

by Étienne Sibille for Kids

My French Book Fest presents a performance by French musician and storyteller Étienne Sibille followed by workshop where kids can craft a musical instrument from recycled materials.

The performance and workshop are open to families with children from 6 - 12. Performance will be in English and workshop will be bilingual English/French. Registration is required for workshop only.

This interactive, musical, and ecological performance kicks off with an exploration of the beauty and marvels of nature in eastern France, as well as the importance of preserving it. Scott, a small extraterrestrial robot, is dispatched from his planet and crash-lands dramatically onto the stage. Reconstructed as a puppet crafted from tin cans, Scott appears on screen as a character, engaging with the audience and Etienne. The environmental concerns on Earth today mirror those faced on his planet millennia ago, allowing Scott to educate children on the importance of preserving our planet. Etienne then translates Scott's teachings into musical performances, creating a captivating blend of instruments crafted live before the audience's eyes. Some lucky children even get to participate in playing these instruments!


Le musicien et conteur français Etienne Sibille jouera sa comédie musicale « La Note de Scott », qui met l'accent sur la protection de l'environnement, et animera des ateliers artistiques basés sur son livre dans les écoles d'immersion locales. Scott, un petit-robot extraterrestre, est envoyé en urgence pour expliquer aux enfants comment protéger notre planète. Avec l'aide d'Etienne, il utilise des marionnettes et des instruments de musique créés en direct pour illustrer ses conseils.
