Shadow Kingdom (Pestacles!)

About the event

What if your phone took you to a magical world… where no one is allowed to sleep? In Shadow Kingdom, I’m Minerva, a young girl who loves her phone… maybe a little too much! But when Hypnos, the god of sleep, steals it from her, she doesn’t hesitate for a second: off she goes in pursuit of him to a strange kingdom filled with shadows and mysteries. In this fantastical world, there’s an incredible rule: no sleeping allowed! And Minerva might just be the only one who can change everything… But will she succeed? On stage, it’s like a cartoon coming to life right before your eyes! More than 300 shadow puppets come to life right before your eyes, taking you on an adventure full of surprises, magic, and emotion. A captivating, funny, and suspenseful show for all children… and for those who still love to daydream! Ages 6 and up. Theater. Running time: 55 minutes. Tickets: €6 for children, €10 for adults. School performances: Thursday, February 4, 10:00 a.m. & 2:00 p.m.
