The Forest and Its Guests

An interactive station-based theater in the forest for children aged 6 and up. Accompanied by music and songs, we embark on a journey into the heart of the forest with the Keepers of Memories. Together, in mysterious places, we search for the happiness that lies in the smallest, most inconspicuous things: in the shadow of a leaf, in the ocean-like rustling of the foliage, in the earthy scent of moss. With our songs, we lure out the hidden creatures of the forest. A sensory theater experience full of music, magic & interactive moments.
