On December 12 and 13, the Palais des Sports in Issy-les-Moulineaux will be transformed into a fairytale world to welcome “La Fille du Marchand de Sable “, an extraordinary figure skating show. Imagined by director Olivia Candeloro, this adventure promises to amaze young and old alike, thanks to a skilful blend of dance, acrobatics, magic and visual poetry.
La Fille du Marchant de Sable, a story of transmission and dreams

The Sandman, benevolent guardian of dreams, has decided to retire after years of putting children around the world to sleep. He entrusts his mission to his daughter Étoile, a young heroine in a midnight-blue cape, protected by the stars and carrying a magic bag capable of warding off nightmares. On the ice, 20 artists take you on a quest to discover a marvellous world of enchanted forests, glittering elves, moving lights and over 150 magical costumes.
A show that celebrates the imagination
In 1h15, “La Fille du Marchand de Sable” celebrates the beauty of sleep and the richness of our dreams. With spectacular scenography and a spellbinding soundtrack, this creation plunges you into a suspended world, between starry skies and sparkling ice. A timeless bubble where anything is possible.
