Great cinema day for children
The Gaumont cinemas in Labège and the one in Place Wilson in Toulouse bring together children and their parents for a “big screen” day. On the program, two exclusive previews and a legendary film for a whole generation to discover. So you will be able to see, as a family, “Tous en scene 2”, which will not be released until December 22. An opportunity for fans of the animal artist heroes of the film. You will find the full Buster Moon troop, always made up of monkeys, pigs, koala bears and porcupines. And a retired lion from the song will even appear in this new opus. You can also let yourself embark in the heart of the Cantal mountains, with “Mystère” (release scheduled for December 15), Denis Imbert’s latest film, starring Vincent Elbaz and Marie Gillain. A very nice feature film featuring a very touching and little lost dad, but ready to do anything to make his daughter smile again. Without forgetting to see, or re-examine “Le monde de Némo”. Throughout the day, children benefit from numerous activities, bonuses and gifts.
Practical information: Sunday, November 21, at Gaumont cinemas in Labège and Wilson. Reservations recommended.

In the skin of the panther
As part of the Month of Transgender, Queer and Intersex Cultures, the Théâtre du Fil à Plumb presents the show by Anne-Gaëlle Duvochel, entitled “In the skin of the panther”. But it might as well have been called “Everything you always wanted to know about transidentity without ever daring to ask”. Born a boy, Anne-Gaëlle Duvochel lives until the age of 55 in the skin of a model father and a recognized manager. One day, he is driven by the overwhelming desire to mold himself into a woman’s skin. The journey is long, painful, but also funny. At the end of her “moult”, she becomes an actress and LGBT activist. And it is to meet the demand of feminists who wish to learn about transidentity that she creates the show. His freedom of speech and his humor go against slogans, political correctness and victimizing speeches. The spectator comes out informed, moved, amazed.
Practical information: November 20 at 9 p.m. At Plumb line theater, 30 rue de la Chaîne in Toulouse. Reservations at 05.62.30.99.77 or at [email protected].
