La Baleine : Conte Musical " Ego le Cachalot"

Ego le cachalot’s shows are first and foremost concerts for children. The music features contemporary sounds with pop and modern elements (analog keyboards, electric guitar) as well as acoustic elements (bass clarinet, ukulele, percussion).

In 2012, Rennes-based musician David Delabrosse expanded his repertoire to include young audiences in collaboration with visual artist Marina Jolivet. Together, they created the character Ego the Sperm Whale, who is both a “stage star” and the creator of three acclaimed albums (Télérama, Astrapi) and an equal number of shows: Ego the Sperm Whale (2013), Ego the Sperm Whale and the Little Whelks (2016), and Super Ego (2021).

With sensitivity and humor, the songs tackle both the personal issues that mark childhood and the broader questions that plague humanity, such as gender, ecology, and inequality.
