Once upon a time there was an ordinary little girl who, encouraged by her grandmother, found herself embarking on an unexpected adventure that would awaken her view of the world... This interactive musical show takes us, through the adventures of its courageous heroine, through a succession of varied cultural and musical universes, to meet characters who are as endearing as they are intriguing. With humour, love, and a touch of poetry, children are invited to accompany Jasmine on her journey, made up of metaphysical legends and more contemporary themes. They encourage her, reflect with her, change during their meetings and participate in her discoveries.

Tales in pieces, songs for laughter and nonsense from the summits. And this is what happens when an author alienates his main character! Ninon, a mischievous and somewhat clumsy Savoyard shepherdess has run away from her creator's imagination to escape the age-old punishment of the... well you know what... well yes! SMACKED BOTTOM! Having taken everything that was in the author's head with her in her flight, she is ready to tell you the stories of the characters that populate the books written by this funny man: The dyslexic peddler, the monster of the lake, the beast of the Grésivaudan, pretty Miss Pays de Savoie, the little chimney sweeper, cursed Mont Blanc, Freestyle biquette... Except that Ninon ONLY does stupid things, unsure that everything takes place as in a traditional fairy tale show... But if she's wrong, well you wouldn't... well you know what... well SMACKED BOTTOM!
