It’s the start of the year, the beginning of autumn. After a year like no other, the city of Sherbrooke finds itself plunged into an overwhelming gloom. The lake, in the center of the city, which had been filled with lanterns of happiness, has been depleted. The Fisherman, who plays such a crucial role to the happiness of the city’s residents, is dismayed and devastated by the disappearance of the lanterns and has disappeared. As a result, a fog has settled over the lake and another one, even thicker, hovers over people's lives. Where is their Fisherman? How will the lanterns find their way to the lake again? How will the people of Sherbrooke find happiness again?

 

In this hide-and-seek game taking place throughout the city, the Théâtre des Petites Lanternes invites you to meander downtown, delving into a new and unexpected universe with one sole objective: find the Fisherman, find the lanterns and bring him a spark of happiness. The lanterns have to find their way back to the lake so that we can all smile again!  

 

To encourage the Fisherman to come out of his hiding place as quickly as possible, we invite you to come with your own lantern that will shine a light to help you find your way!
