La Maison de la Poésie / Musical reading of Maximiam

Arnold would very much like to tag along whenever his mother goes to work. But she won’t let him: taking care of wild animals is far too dangerous for such a little boy. One day, there is an emergency at the zoo and Arnold stays home, alone. When lunch time comes – brilliant! – he finds a box of Maximiam. But mind the quantities – the Maximiam could escape and become a terrifying beast…

Illustrated reading of the album Maximiam accompanied by a theremin: a funny object made out of a box and two wires, it is one of the very oldest music electronic instruments. Its particularity is to produce sound without being touched: it is as weird as the Maximiam.
