The show is designed for family audiences, in partnership with Sorbonne Université and the Maison du Jonglage

Nénette
By Nicolas Philibert
France - 2010 - 1h10
Nénette is the name of a female orangutan, and the subject of one of Nicolas Philibert's very first documentaries. And Nénette, a resident of the Jardin des Plantes who was almost 40 years old at the time of filming, is definitely not just anyone! The filmmaker offers us a real lesson in how to look at things: who has the most fun with the atypical spectacle on offer? The answer may not be what you think!
Free admission!
