An international production for young audiences, cOsmO invites us to discover our playful relationship with the microscopic, macroscopic, and everything in between. In an original fusion of poetry, puppetry, and clowning, co-creators Haydeé Boetto and Hélène Ducharme introduce audiences to a world of cocoons—an astounding universe filled with textures, sounds, and creatures large and small. Using a multi-sonorous tapestry of crackling fire, the ocean, rain and thunder, and a visual world inspired by knitted and crocheted yarn, cOsmO engages the senses and delights the heart.
