What makes this show so appealing?
Le Puy du Fou is internationally renowned for producing original shows every season. The Ballet des Sapeurs du Puy du Fou is no exception, as this daytime performance is performed exclusively by children. The children are trained by the Puy du Fou Academy, the Puy du Fou Art & Study School and the Puy du Fou Junior Academy.
The freshness and determination of these young actors is complemented by rigorous choreography and writing by qualified directors. The combination is bound to produce an outstanding show.
The creation of the Puy du Fou Académie in 2015 aims to enable children, from an early age, tolearn the art of show business while following an academic training course. This training center in the Vendée offers different school levels, from nursery to high school.
While the mornings are devoted to traditional academic training, the afternoons are reserved for learning artistic subjects. As for the Académie Junior, an extracurricular training center, it welcomes young people wishing to be initiated into the world of the arts and live theater.
The common goal of the two centers is to enable the young people trained to take over the reins of the shows at the Puy du Fou park.
How does the show
Le Ballet des Sapeurs at Puy du Fou work?
Performed by some fifteen young children, most of whom have already appeared in the Cinescénie, Le Ballet des Sapeurs du Puy du Fou is a dialogue-free show. Set in the Bourg 1900, the scene takes us back to the early 20th century, when an entire village struggles to put out a vehicle fire. In addition to the driver, the cast includes firemen, waitresses, a gardener and a village warden, who perform an orderly ballet to jazzy music.
In addition to the original narrative that plunges you into the heart of the last century, so does the décor that surrounds the Bourg 1900, where the show takes place. Located near the park entrances and bordered by the hall and bistro, the Bourg 1900 will win you over with its Art Nouveau-style architecture, entertainment and costumed characters. Before returning to your campsite near Puy du Fou, don’t forget to schedule a visit to the local shops to buy souvenirs or sweets for the children.
