    Tout Neuf (Completely New) was created by Violaine Fournier and Cyrille Louge for children from 2 to 5 years old.
    As young children experi- ence this show, they find a whole new world to discov- er in the sounds of nature, sounds which gave rise to the invention   
    of music.
    They are fascinated as they hear an enchanting lyrical poem inspired by Mozart, Bach, Landi and Rossini, celebrating wondrous sounds in nature:     
    water streaming, wind howling, fire crackling and footsteps resounding.
    They awaken to the es- sence of life as they ex- plore nature step-by-step, experiencing its manifold beauty and discovering new feelings to share.
