The Three Little Pigs – actor and figure theatre, ages 3 and up

About the event

At first it looks like the classic tale of the three little pigs, each with their own house, the apple tree and the chimney the big bad wolf climbs down. But in this version the wolf starts out at the auditions of a well-known TV music programme, sings his best song and is turned down. Later he takes a wrong turn and ends up at a brick house, where an old woman comes out: Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother, whom he has no intention of eating.

Once the wolf has been chased off, the three pigs decide to start artistic careers and form a group, the "Pig Band".

Three almost invisible actors animate five puppets. They sing, dance, jump and run on a green hill that turns into a house of straw, wood and bricks, a country road and an apple tree. The wolf has one passion, music, and one fear, children. Recommended from age 3.
