Colo Lascaux
Inspired by the incredible discovery of the Lascaux Cave in 1940 by four teenagers, Gaëlle Bourges, together with Aria de la Celle, Abigail Fowler, and Stéphane Monteiro, created a show for all ages titled*Seeing Lascaux again* (2017), which challenges our perspective on prehistoric art and its legacy.
The entire artistic team is now inviting a group of young people (children or teenagers) to take ownership of the play and present their own version of it, following a full week of work in the form of a “summer camp.”
As part of the “Quartier d’artiste” event at the Théâtre Public de Montreuil in 2025, the show’s team invited a group of children from a recreation center to spend a week deep inside the famous decorated cave: Packed with various workshops—covering the history of the discovery, shadow puppetry, dance, and object manipulation—the event took the form of a sort of art camp.Colo Lascaux was born!
