The year is 1534. The New World has been discovered and arouses endless desire. Across the seas, Spanish ships return from the Americas, their holds filled with gold, silver and precious stones. Cristobal Pitchon is one of these explorers: a greedy and ruthless adventurer, known as the Black Legend. He has built an enormous fortune by exploiting the indigenous people of Peru and eliminating their leader, Atahualpa. This fabulous treasure is hidden in the Pholdinguos archipelago, on a mysterious island. Searching for it, Erwen the One-Eyed, a frigate captain serving the King of France, manages during a sea battle to steal a map revealing the location of the treasure. Mortally wounded, he uses his final breath to entrust this precious document to his son, Brivael de Saint Guoin. The young man then promises his father to avenge him and return the stolen riches to the indigenous people. Combining adventure, music, children’s choirs and storytelling, this show takes audiences of all ages on a thrilling epic journey. Free admission Open seating. No booking required. Entry subject to available seating.
