Light and shadow belong together. But what happens when shadows suddenly develop a life of their own, when they multiply at will, liberated from the laws of physics, to come into the limelight?

This delightful show is a journey through an enchanted city, with two pupeteers creating and leading us into the magical universe of shadows, where everyday objects perform their own little dance of freedom. Shadows enter through the back door to steal our things. They get bigger and smaller, they split and merge. They start interacting with the world and the relation between objects and their shadows becomes blurry.

It almost seems as if the door to another world has been opened…

Ben (Age 6) - ★★★★★

"I give it a hundred stars. The best bit was with the bubbles and the light was bouncing. I liked all the tricks with the shadows."

Mix Up Junior (Age 6) - ★★★★★

"I give it all the stars. It was very funny when the noise of everything breaking behind the screen and also when the shadow was following her. And I got to meet the actors brilliant"
