Running Time: 60 minutes
A tin soldier and a paper dancer are star-crossed lovers in an unconventional tale about fate, love and uniqueness told through one of the most ancient forms of theatre artistry – puppetry.
A true classic by Hans Christian Andersen, the story revolves around a distinct and peculiar toy soldier with only one leg. Ostracised from the others, he meets a paper ballerina in a pirouette and immediately falls for her. Out of sheer jealousy, a jack-in-a-box pushes the soldier out of the window which then brings him on a journey right back to the girl of his dreams and ultimately, to his final destiny.
In this beautiful and magical interpretation, the solo puppeteer and his puppets transport the audience back into time as they weave, spin and bathe on a fine set under gorgeous lighting to the powerful narrative of adventure, courage and love.
“The art of puppetry is age-old, yet never ceases to fascinate children. Omar Alvarez is an exquisite puppeteer, visible to the audience throughout the performance. Children will experience puppetry of the highest quality, magical and memorable. Timeless piece, tireless puppeteer.”
