The year-end holidays look set to glow and
warm our hearts with a stunning black light presentation of Thumbelina. |
|
This tender Hans Christian Andersen fairy
tale will captivate young audiences from 31 October to 13 November at
ACT 3 Theatre, ONE-TWO-SIX Cairnhill Arts Centre. |
|
Directed by Bulgarian actress and veteran
puppeteer Antoaneta Madjarova, Thumbelina blends the brilliance of black
light, exquisite puppetry and alluring non-verbal poetic drama to fully
awaken your senses and imagination. |
|
¡°Thumbelina is full of fantasy, emotion and
action,¡± says Ruby Lim-Yang, Artistic Director of ACT 3 International.
¡°The classic story offers a stunning spectacle of childhood dreams and
encounters.¡± |
|
¡°We chose Thumbelina for its potential to
inspire our young. The story reflects our own childhood experiences of
friendship and love, of being lost and then found. Thumbelina the
character is a delightful heroine. Her life is a magical, dream-like
story with many instances of wishful thinking, startling discoveries,
and interesting characters.¡± |
|
BLACK LIGHT MAGIC |
|
Performing artistes from Argentina¡¯s
renowned Kukla Puppet Company will charm you with an ancient art of
entertainment that has enthralled emperors and audiences for centuries. |
|
The magic of Black Light Theatre mesmerises
in this graceful and innovative presentation where all the audience will
see are colourful and animated puppets and props on a pitch-black stage. |
|
The luminous images of Thumbelina, the
animal characters, and the beautiful scenes of the pond, the winter and
the forest will amaze children and adults. The audience cannot see the
actors who are clad in black and who are skillfully manipulating these
puppets and objects. |
|
The adventures of Thumbelina are told
entirely with the dramatic interplay of music and manipulation. No words
are spoken in this play. Carefully chosen pieces of classical music
created by great composers express the unspoken and provide the
emotional depth. |
|
The intention is to encourage children to
intuitively recognise and understand how the characters feel by
listening to the music whilst watching the action on stage. |
