About this event

The Reverse Carousel
Mia thinks of herself as an adventurer – the problem is that nobody believes her. On a trip to Paris, she wants to prove it, but right away, her father puts her on an old-fashioned children’s carrousel. How on earth is anything going to happen here? The ticket seller Madame Garnier, however, immediately recognises Mia’s rebellious character. She needs help chasing Monsieur Monet, who is planning to sell the carrousel to a luxury hotel. Using a secret key, she puts a spell on the carrousel: suddenly, the music plays backwards, the animals jump off, and an adventure is about to begin…
