The Meeting with Molière

After listening to the enchanted‎ (1) quills of the library tell stories of great authors, Léo and Mina, accompanied by a wise owl, head towards a bright stage. They follow the path traced by the magical words they just discovered. The stage is lit up by colorful spotlights‎ (2) that dance to the soft music floating in the air. Léo, with his theater hat, glittery‎ (3) gold jacket, and mask attached to his belt, can't help but make funny faces. Mina, on the other hand, spins her starry tutu, creating glowing stars that light up the stage. Suddenly, a figure‎ (4) appears on the stage. It's a man in an old-fashioned costume, with curly hair and sparkling eyes. It's Molière, the spirit of the famous French author.

Mina, with her eyes wide open in surprise, asks:
« Are you the spirit of Molière? »

Léo, with a big smile, says:
« We read your stories. They are funny! »

Molière, with a mischievous smile, begins to speak:
« Thank you. I tell stories with characters who make mistakes. They argue and do silly things. People laugh and think. »

Léo, curious, asks:
« How do you make people laugh? »

Molière, with a mischievous smile, explains: « I talk about people's faults‎ (5). Faults are the bad things everyone has. For example, someone who always complains. It's funny and makes you think. »

Mina, delighted, says:
« That's right. We laugh and we learn. »

Molière, with a mischievous smile, hands them an object saying:
« Here is a comedy mask. To find the Perfect Role, follow the laughter! »

Léo and Mina accept the comedy mask. They are then invited to follow Molière's spirit on a new adventure. They are led to the Sound‎ (6) Studio, where strange instruments and flying sheet music‎ (7) await them.

The Secret of Laughter

Once in the Sound Studio, colorful instruments are shown to Léo and Mina. Among them, there are flutes, drums, and violins. Each instrument has a unique sound, and the spirit of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known as Molière, invites them to discover it.

Molière, with a mischievous smile, says:
« Listen to the sounds. They tell stories. »

Léo, curious, asks then:
« How do sounds tell stories? »

Molière, with a mischievous smile, begins to explain:
« Sounds change the mood. Soft music makes you dream. Fast music makes you dance. »

Mina, curious, wonders:
« I wonder if I can play music that makes people dance with my violin. »

Molière, with a mischievous smile, says:
« Well done, Mina. Now Léo, try making funny faces with your mask. »

Léo, with a big smile, says:
« I make funny faces with my mask. Everyone laughs. Isn't that funny? »

Molière, with a mischievous smile, exclaims:
« Laughter is contagious. People laugh together. It's magical. »

After laughing together, Léo and Mina are amazed by the masks they are wearing. They are then guided by the spirit of Molière to a new scene. On this scene, shadows tell sad and beautiful stories. On the Shadow Dancing Stage, a magnificent black cat is there to welcome them. He is ready to explain why some stories make us cry on stage. Léo and Mina, curious and enthusiastic, are getting ready to discover new emotions and live new adventures.
