The kitchen, scene of amazing triumphs and heartbreaking disasters—and surely one of our earliest experiences of theatre. There we encounter a diverse cast of characters: fire and water, sweet and salty, the enticing aroma of vanilla and the horrible smell of burning! And so it is that a dancing bag of flour is the first thing to appear on the puppet stage of Le Temps des muffins... It is quickly joined by a chef/magician who whips words together, dares to play with his food, lays his own eggs, and invents a mountain of stories, games and pictures while he mixes up a batch of muffins from his Aunt Léa’s secret recipe. Abracadabra: before our very eyes, pastry becomes white magic and sugar drifts down from the sky! This culinary delight for apprentice cooks of all ages is a treat to the very last crumb
