Christmas Horse Show: "The Old Angel and the Child

In the kingdom of the future, the children who are due to be born are impatient, dreaming of descending to Earth and discovering the great adventure of Life. Alone in her corner, Pïa is afraid...

During a celestial meeting, the old angel Giuseppe is reprimanded: his last mission was another failure! The Angel of Destiny offers him one last chance: he must set aside his grumpiness to become the Angel-Passenger and accompany the children on Earth. If he fails again, he'll be banished.

This mission is much more complicated than it seems: the old angel must watch over Pïa, the only soul who stubbornly refuses to leave heaven and return to Earth.

This dreamlike, poetic show combines humour and the spirit of Christmas to delight young and old alike. Le vieil ange et l'enfant takes the audience on a journey of initiation through a multitude of equestrian tableaux from very different worlds.

Created and directed by Virginie Bienaimé, this new Christmas equestrian show is an ode to simple, immediate pleasures as well as deeper joys. Each tableau is enhanced by fabulous costumes designed by Monika Mucha. Under the direction of Sophie Bienaimé, artistic and equestrian director of the Grandes Écuries, the riders of the Compagnie équestre du Château de Chantilly - accompanied by their horses, donkeys and ponies - will be accompanied on stage by equestrian acrobats, actors, a singer and a trapeze artist.

This moving equestrian Christmas tale will delight young and old alike.
