THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE
“Three Goblins, the Tree and the Pudding”
Presented by the Parodos Art Group
A one-of-a-kind performance, created exclusively for the Museum, by a team of 12 performers accompanied by live music. With the title “Play Has No Age – Follow Your Imagination”, the show invites children to participate through movement and play.
And so the story begins—full of unexpected twists! Mischievous goblins, a giant chameleon, and spiders all become part of the plot, thrilling audiences both young and old.
The performance culminates in a festive atmosphere, with children and performers working together to create a giant tree, decorated with nature-inspired drawings. A starring role is also played by a traditional holiday treat—a big, fluffy pudding!
In the joyful finale, parents and children join hands and dance around the decorated tree, singing a festive song to welcome all the good things the new year will bring!
