Tales from the Taiga

Our latest, colourful show uses shadow puppetry, giant creatures, storytelling, music and lighting to create an enchanting performance for children and their families.

Small World Theatre uses shadow puppetry, giant creatures, storytelling, music and lighting to create a wonderful performance. First performed in December as ‘Winter Stories', we have been asked to do more shows and we're continuing with the new title ‘Tales from the Taiga'.

This is a modern fairy story, adapted from a traditional Nanai folk tale about a young man and his kindness.

This is a modern fairy story, adapted from a traditional Nanai folk tale about a young man and his kindness.  Our hero lives in an arctic world populated by amazing creatures such as Siberian tigers, a giant sturgeon and much more. By solving three seemingly impossible tasks, he cleverly wins the hand of the beautiful maiden.

As the low sun and flickering firelight cast their long shadows, Small World Theatre draws the audience into this magical story where the shadows are not always black and white…

'Winter Shadows puppet show, fantastic, engrossing, full of surprises. And I am 58, enjoyed it as much as the kids.' Phillip Natty December 2011

This performance is in Welsh and English languages.
