Description

The touching, engaging tale of a shattered body trying to gather itself in a time of war. Using movement, text, light, sound and puppetry with great ingenuity, The Double Theatre's family show is a creative and playful theatrical response to the state of the world now. Funny, heartfelt and poetic, their work has been compared to a flower blooming in a ruin. At the centre of it all is a displaced boy trying to become whole again, escaping the battlefield sustained by a dream of music. The result is devastatingly good entertainment. European premiere.
