Andrej Lyga: A Fairytale for the Brave
Deep in the magical woods, there lives a specter that lures by-passers, enchants them, and takes control of their bodies. A tale told without a word – all is told through movement; A story of an individual who embarks on an adventure full of creatures hiding in the shadows, where danger lurks around every corner, and you never know who you can trust. Can our hero survive this battle with the supernatural? Not alone. He’ll need your help! We’re looking for someone brave who will stand up to fear and evil. The story is looking for a hero. Maybe it’s you? But let’s ask first: Are you afraid of the dark?
The performance is for kids 6+.
