Azé, l’Enfant Invisible

On Saturday 18th of June, children from Reception and Years 1, 2 and 3 performed a show in French at the Institut Français.

They performed “Azé, l’Enfant Invisible”, an African tale imagined and written by them and directed by teacher, Mrs. Aïcha Mehablia.

Azé is the story of fate: the fate of a little African boy who begins a long journey. On his path, he meets the malefic spirit of the witch, Minona, who does not hesitate to steal his soul. But very fortunately, Love, the strongest power, saves the little boy.

It’s by playing, singing and having fun that the children of “Le Petit Club de l’Institut Français” have improved with the French language, acquired an oral ease and interpreted this tale with remarkable confidence.
