Gæstespil: The Butterfly and the Beetle

A story about discovery, friendship and love.
Freely inspired by “El Maleficio de la Mariposa” written by Federico Garcia Lorca.

Have you ever seen a beetle helping a butterfly? And, if you haven’t, does it mean that it could never happen? The Italian theatre group Eleusis presents a magic tale about a friendship that seems to be impossible, but will turn out to be true, simple and pure. A beetle who helps a butterfly with a damaged wing through love. A helpful gesture that despite differences opens the way to the encounter with the other. Using the body, nonverbals, creativity, dance and acrobatic the story will come alive. The voice-over speaks in some moments of the tale to help children to understand the story. Scenery, costumes and music add colour and emotion. The audience will immerse into the tale thanks to expressive motions, suggestive sounds and emotional characters to live a fantasy adventure. For children and their adults.
