In the organizer's words:

Merlin Puppet Theatre [Greece]

Non-verbal performance - suitable for international audience

The Merlin Puppet Theatre presents its new visual puppet theater production!

Without text, but with vivid images, music and the symbolic power of puppets, objects and shadow play, the ensemble appeals to children and adults.

A story about adulthood - with a lot of humor and playfulness, with a poetic approach and full trust in the aesthetic criteria and imagination of the audience. The Merlin Puppet Theatre tells five different puppet stories from the perspective of a child - about diversity and fears, friendship and cohesion, responsibility, bullying and loss.

The "girl with the little suitcase" is the central character in the production. She faces new challenges in every episode. She asserts herself with humorous exaggerations. With the objects she pulls out of her small suitcase, she transforms her toys into sophisticated tools with which she transforms her reality into beauty.
