À travers le jeu et l’improvisation, les enfants découvriront la figure du Nahual, l’animal-guide, et exploreront avec lui un voyage imaginaire autour de la mémoire, de la transformation et de la célébration de la vie.
Chaque enfant créera son propre masque, puis lui donnera vie à travers le mouvement et le théâtre. L’atelier se terminera par la création collective d’un petit autel théâtral éphémère, autour du partage, de la mémoire et de la célébration de la vie.
1. Entrer dans l’univers du Día de Muertos
Une courte introduction historique permettra d’ouvrir l’imaginaire des enfants et adultes autour de la mémoire, des couleurs, des fleurs, des
animaux et de la célébration de la vie.
2. À travers le jeu, l’imaginaire et le mouvement, les enfants et adultes partiront à la rencontre du Nahual, l’animal-guide. Un échauffement
corporel et sensoriel, inspiré des animaux, des paysages, des textures et des rythmes, les invitera à ressentir et explorer leur animal : comment se déplace-t-il ? Quel est son rythme ? Comment regarde-t-il et entre-t-il en relation avec les autres ?
Les enfants et compagnies exploreront ainsi l’espace, l’écoute, la présence et l’improvisation,donnant progressivement corps à leur Nahual.
3. Fabrication du masque
À partir des expériences corporelles et de leur imaginaire, les enfants créent un masque lié à leur Nahual avec carton, papier, tissus, couleurs et éléments décoratifs.
