Child's play! - Tickets

A poetic slapstick exploring childlike playfulness
What happens when a rather small girl steps into an abandoned children’s room? A foot here, peek! A drumstick there, bang! Something is lurking in the corner. What is it? Boo! Suddenly, the forgotten world of toys begins to stir again. A broken ballerina longs to be beautiful once more and spin for all to admire; a torn spring toy wants to leap and startle with all its might; and a soldier without a drum would give anything to drum again. How can one make sense of this heap of broken toys? That is no child’s play! So, things begin to happen. The girl assembles, connects—somewhat backwards, somewhat inside out—and the toys come to life in unexpected, slightly absurd forms. It is precisely within this playful absurdity that the magic emerges, along with the gentle chaos of children’s play.
