On April 19, 2026 ,the Théâtre Descas will host Le Monde Imaginaire d’Alice, a roughly one-hour performance that reimagines Lewis Carroll’s world through a bold fusion of dance and theater. Conceived and performed by the amateur and professional students of the Atelier Chorégraphique L.A.C Bordeaux, this project is aimed at all audiences, from families to performing arts enthusiasts.
A journey into a poetic and immersive world

With Le Monde Imaginaire d’Alice, the famous tale takes on a new dimension. The show transports us into a world that is at once whimsical, poetic, and visually striking, where each scene becomes an exploration of emotions, social situations, and contemporary questions.
Influences from Disney, Tim Burton, and the Royal Ballet of London blend to create a unique aesthetic, oscillating between enchantment and strangeness. On stage, the performers bring to life a gallery of fascinating characters , in a narrative that leaves room for the audience’sinterpretation and imagination .
This production also stands out for its innovative approach —it blends live performance, video recordings, and artistic reproductions integrated into the staging. Physical expression thus becomes the central thread of an immersive experience, enhanced by a set design that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination. The sets and costumes, designed by professionals, play on contrasts—between pastel-hued worlds and darker atmospheres—and plunge the audience into a true waking dream.
A one-time performance not to be missed

Conceived as a one-time event, the show will be presented only once—on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at 3 p.m. This deliberately exclusive format underscores its unique nature and makes it an event not to be missed.
The setting of the Théâtre Descas, housed in a former castle, fully contributes to the magic of the event. For one hour, the audience is invited to escape to an extraordinary place, right in the heart of Bordeaux.
Perfect for a spring outing, Alice’s Imaginary World promises a moment of wonder for young and old alike, and a wonderful opportunity to discover the creativity of young artists as they explore their own worlds.
