Freehand Theatre - Little Red... You Know Who!!

Little Red Riding HoodFreehand Theatre has been creating top quality theatre for children for more than 20 years. With Little Red, the company takes the tale of Little Red Riding Hood and sets off on an unconventional path through the woods.

Using beautiful visual effects, inventive puppetry and original music Freehand Theatre has created a play with young children in mind. This is a reassuring world where wolves are kept safely between the covers of books, where a red box has a song to sing, and a forest can grow before your very eyes…

The show lasts 50 minutes and is accompanied by music composed and recorded especially for the production on a wide array of instruments.

Akseli Klonk

Akseli KlonkAkseli Klonk is a professional puppet theatre company founded in the city of Oulu in Finland in 1998. The company excels at producing short theatre pieces that express a wonderful sense of visual humor that translates into any language. Slightly surreal and very, very funny, Akseli Klonk are highly energetic young performers.

Their previous productions have included Carmen – yes Carmen, the opera by Bizet. Akseli Klonk's hysterical version has four bullfighters finding some dirty laundry which reminds them of a man called Lucas who was the best bullfighter in Spain (and a splendid washerman). The four bullfighters tell us the story of Lucas with tons of high speed warmth, luminous love, jolly bullfighting, laundry action and dancing steps. In their show ‘A Trip to Panama' Little Bear and Little Tiger leave their comfortable home to go in search of Panama, the land of their dreams, where everything smells like bananas. And in ‘Princess Story' Akseli Klonk tells a tale that is NOT the story of “The Sleeping Beauty”. This is about a princess who does NOT sleep 100 years, but fights with dragons and finds herself a prince. And she also has a bike that goes “tät-tät-tää”. So not a traditional princess at all…
