LA MLOUFLE
Show for young audiences
Participatory storytelling – Clown – Puppets
For children aged 18 months to 5 years
This traditional Russian tale tells the story of a mitten lost in the snow, into which the forest animals snuggle to keep warm.
Génépi is a unique character whose words often come out backwards. Her quirky humor and tenderness captivate the tiniest little ones, the middles, and the grown-ups alike.
She is the one who performs La Mloufle with her finger puppets — mouse, froggy, bunny, fox, and bear — who embark on an adventure celebrating solidarity, gentleness, and the warmth of the heart.

Noémie Armbruster
Noémie Armbruster is a multidisciplinary circus artist (clown, trapeze artist, unicyclist, stilt walker, singer…) who loves the creative world where body, poetry, and humor intertwine to bring a performance to life.
Since 2008, she has worked with Nikolaus on the show Tout est bien, a big-top circus production (180 performances); with Cie Marcel et ses Drôles de Femmes on the shows La femme de trop and The Good Place, performed both indoors and in the street (50 performances across France and Europe); and on her own solo street show Enfin seule! (50 performances across France).
La Mloufle is her first creation for very young audiences — a piece for the winter season. Her goal is to create one show for each season.
She also leads circus and clown workshops for children, adults, people with disabilities, and corporate groups — and she has a deep passion for sharing and transmitting her art.
Inspired by children, she imagined a show for them and with them.
The Babil program (an artist residency initiative supporting the artistic and cultural awakening of children aged 0–3) allowed her to create within the Kinoko nursery in Le Havre.
Over the course of three weeks, she experimented with her clown performance, led workshops for the little ones and their caregivers, and brought La Mloufle to life.
She is endlessly happy to rediscover the world of childhood and to bring into it her bubble of fantasy, poetry, humor, and surprise!
