Ambulatory theater in the Bois de l'Équerre

One of Laval's last large urban forests, the Bois de l'Équerre is home to a variety of ecosystems that contribute greatly to the quality of life of the people of Laval. On this special day, you'll have the opportunity to discover this exceptional site through the strolling theater animationLa mère merle en forêt . You'll follow the story of Laviat, an aviatrix and businesswoman caught up in a race against time, until the day she finds herself confined to the forest. Her life is turned upside down. She's forced to slow down and heed the rhythms of nature and the seasons. Before the show, participants are invited to decorate small paper birds. It's a great way to spend time with family and friends, philosophizing about our relationship with nature and sharing our creativity!

This activity is offered free of charge. The show is made possible thanks to the financial support of the Government of Quebec and the City of Laval as part of the Entente de développement culturel, and in partnership with the réseau des bois de Laval, Canopée.
