Faeries is a show for families with younger children that will use a combination of puppetry, dance and old-fashioned storytelling to propel us into a world of mystery, magic, imps and faeries.

Taking the visual world of Arthur Rackham as our starting-point we follow a young girl and her twilight adventures when she finds herself alone late one afternoon in Kensington Park. With a cast of sprites and fairies we hover between the London Park’s lakes and monuments and the shadowy realm that beckons through the fairy ring as our storyteller discovers not only that faeries really do exist but that they are rarely how we imagine them. With choreographed puppets manipulated by the dancers who then switch to become the  faeries they manipulate, the play between scales and perspectives creates a highly theatrical yet intimate world as reliant on the imagination as any props and scenery.

A celebration of the innocence and mischievousness of childhood.
