Discover this short movie :


Miss Loulou is flirtatious : her short skirts with colourful petticoats flare out when she dances or performs acrobatics. She has an impressive wardrobe allowing fast costume-changings plus a color-changing waistcoat for the magic of it.

De beaux bras... De beaux balais.. De beaux draps !!!
Rêverie ! Mystère.... Flirt

She never goes whitout her suitcase, at once house, wardrobe, bed, hiding place and treasure chest of props.

... en folie ! Valises...

It opens with a magician giving Miss Loulou the desire to stay a little while on stage, as she's doing better tricks than him. Always carrying her huge suitcase, she reveals gradualy her own world in looking for ways to cope with any new situation. She's always amazed by the apparition of any potential new playmate or surprising prop.

Hihihihi Réflexion.. Action !

If children feel sometimes she's a goon for being clumsy with tools, they love the way she let them drive her acts in pure improvisation. Her clownesque feet and bunches jump like a Jack-in-a-box everywhere on the setting, dancing with a very tall chicken, fighting with a crocodile, moking the magician...

La poule géante Quelle ambiance ! Le zèbre musicien

When she's sleeping – in her suitcase of course – a magic hand, out of a box, lets her dreams produce ... Suitcases ! Full of funny things and sunflowers — the cleaning getting problematic because she can't help fraternizing with her broom while the props pop from unexpected spots.

Danses et Poésie ! Musique

And so on, during one hour of the clock, she confronts her mischievous affection with both bores and friends, children laughs at her adventures, adults yield to the poetry of her imagination. Then soap bubbles gets growing and growing, taking her to other planets, and time had passed too quickly.

Théâtre Paris : Création de Miss Loulou Fortissimo


The adventures of Miss Loulou, struggling with a pianist sometimes jazzy, sometimes Renaissance (costume, wig and everything), or with a guitarist (electrified) playing or improvising, depending on the situations.

Fleur de magie....face à l'inattendu.Magicienne même !
With her playmates and puppets, in an evolving setting, Miss Loulou stages two worlds : the first, the funny one, is full of everyday implements, balloons, music notes and other unexpected stuff she makes to come suddenly into view; the second is dedicated to the dream of love, her quest for companions, her poetic loves...
Une silhouette de Magritte..Un fantôme de chenapan !..La lumière jaillit de ses doigts..
La nuit les rêveries de Miss Loulou délicatement surréalisent...
She will adopt a tiny sock, "give rise" to little Miss Loulous, four successive handled puppets, and she will try to seduce the pianist with a cleaning dance or magic tricks !
La chaussette heureuse..!  Courbettes et simagrées
Toute en coquetterie est la Miss..Le trio en musique.Un peu de magie par dessus..

The music could be thought of as a fourth character, since it interacts with every features of the stage.

Séduction....Attraction ?..
Enroulez c'est pesé ! La musique tourne et tourne encore !.. Et même le ménage !
