Paperbelle’s world is black and white and she likes it that way. She’s heard of colour; but would prefer things to stay as they are. The colours, on the other hand, want to play games and they want Paperbelle to join in. Paperbelle’s world is changing – will she try to stop it or might she find it’s not as bad as it first seemed…?

Leaf
A leaf is born…
It grows and glows in the sunshine and the rain
Then the wind blows and it becomes colder
The leaf changes colour
In the snow, the leaf falls…
But when spring comes, a new leaf grows…
Join us as we tell the life story of a very special leaf in this warm, intimate and playful new piece for under 3s inspired by nature and the seasons. Framed within an evocative soundscape, this is the perfect introduction to theatre for the very young.
At the end of the performance, children are invited onto the stage to play among the leaves and explore a landscape created by the changing seasons.

“Where can we find the nuts and chestnuts for the cake?” asks Piccolalorsa.
“In the woods!”
“But I am afraid to go into the woods, it’s so dark!”
“We’ll go together! And don’t worry, everybody’s afraid of something…”
So, nuts and chestnuts are replaced by the true protagonist of the story: fear. The woods are frightening, darkness is frightening, even the foreign animals are frightening. Entering the woods, the youngsters must learn to overcome their fears and face up to them with courage.

Archipelago is about a tiny little island born from a group of larger islands, an archipelago. Curious like a child, it separates from its mother island and goes on a journey of exploration and discovery.
As it journeys, it comes face to face with the elements – the blue sea, the boats, the fish, the trees, the moon and the stars, the mountain and the bridges that reach out. In its journey, it learns to be independent yet never forgetting the archipelago where it all began – an island amongst islands.
Archipelago will steer all on a passage of joy, love and connections.
Told through a combination of dance, movement, music, and poetic text, it is about family, life, birth and independence.
