Christmas at the National Museum of Natural History Goulandris

THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE

“Three Goblins, the Tree and the Pudding”

Duration: 50 minutes, Hours: 11:00 and 13:00

A unique performance, designed exclusively for the Museum, by a team of 12 performers accompanied by live music, under the title “Play Has No Age – Follow Your Imagination.”
Children are invited to participate through movement and play — and the story begins with unexpected twists! Mischievous goblins, a giant chameleon, and spiders join the plot, captivating both children and adults.

The performance culminates in a festive atmosphere with children and performers working together to create a giant tree, decorated with paintings inspired by Nature. A special role is played by the holiday dessert — a large, fluffy pudding!

The event concludes with parents and children holding hands and dancing around the decorated tree, singing a festive song celebrating the joys of the new year!
