Donin's family shows

Take part in Donin's family shows all over the island of Ré:

JEUX DE BAIN - BAIN DE MER: singing, comedy, dance and music - For young children (duration: 50 min).
Kids? It's time to take your bath! The two characters jump into the water, then stretch out on the beaches of their imagination to play funny crabs or poetic sea fleas. And don't forget to fish for flying fish or unseemly slippers.

Indulge in hand games on bathmats and towel choreography in front of the bath boat of all possibilities. Sail between a mermaid's song in sign language and a nursery rhyme to the glory of seahorses. Finally, dock at the "guinguette" at the Bar des Méduses, sip a few surprising local drinks and dance without a care in the world to the restless sea of laughter!

Featuring:
- Donin: vocals and comedy
- Julie DE OLIVEIRA: vocals, ukulele, loops and comedy
- Adrien LEMAÎTRE: stage management, musical compositions and arrangements, guitar


LE JAZZ BOAT: concert, music, song and storytelling - For families (50 min.)
A fishing boat of notes and words, the JAZZ BOAT is back in port after a campaign on the oceans here and elsewhere. The crew disembark on the stage, memories of their encounters always followed on board by a desire to sing, play music and dance, with songs about everything and little things, traveling to the ends of the earth or the depths of oneself...
It's a great opportunity to evoke the world of the sea from the angle of environmental issues, species protection, plastic pollution... but also to express an original poetic or humorous vision. The repertoire is made up of a few Donin songs that swing more than they should, and covers of jazz standards rearranged and, above all, rewritten. The whole is enhanced by the pianist's and singer's improvisations, and peppered with Donin's interactive interventions.

With :
- Donin: storytelling and singing
- Claire VERNAY: vocals
- Stephen BINET: piano


MÉMÉ RÉ, OUAIS ET L'OCÉAN play on the beach - Family show

The story of a unique intergenerational bond and an oceanic passion. This show is a double tribute :
- to the close relationship with our grandmothers
- to the rich and fragile world of the ocean.
Mémé Ré lives in Sainte-Marie-de-Ré, alone, as Pépé Amand has been dead for three and a half months. Mémé Ré is a lively, strong, free, playful woman. Her philosophy is to give free rein to her imagination, not to be encumbered by convention. She loves to play with words, to walk the shore, to wade in puddles, and she knows every beach and rock on the Sainte-Marie-de-Ré coast.
She doesn't see much of her only daughter Catherine, who works all the time, but she's happy to see herself in the atypical, bubbly personality of her granddaughter, Ouais. She loves to draw fish and shellfish, and dreams of becoming a fishery doctor, protecting the ocean.
One of the mottos of the play is "What can't be done, must be done". This is Mémé Ré's motto, and through this philosophy of eccentricity, we discover a delightfully extravagant grandmother and granddaughter, who put all their energy into expanding the world.

As Mémé Ré: Donin
As Ouais: Nadine Berland
