Performance | Tangled Tales | Agnieszka Kontny and Raz-dwa-trzyk Theatre (POL) (PJM)

We invite children to a performance woven with string on the fingers of the storyteller! As part of “Zaplątane opowieści”, we will discover two stories – “O małym nietoperzu” and “O królewnie na wieży zamkniętej”.

The performance is created in the convention of string storytelling, a form rooted in oral traditions found in many cultures around the world. The storyteller illustrates the story using string figures and tricks woven before the audience’s eyes. The listener’s mind and sensitivity become part of an extraordinary play of imagination – words, gestures, and shapes intertwine and then disappear. With the help of one simple loop, a rich world of stories is created – a cave full of bats, a kidnapped princess and a sorcerer’s cauldron, a clever lizard and a snake hunting it.

Teatrzyk Raz-dwa-trzyk creates performances with live music played on traditional instruments by female musicians. The performances include fragments of traditional songs and children’s musical games, allowing children to actively participate through singing together and repeating gestures. The youngest audiences have the opportunity to discover the sounds of traditional instruments: accordion, ocarina, baraban, frame drum, violin, and others. String stories are also richly illustrated with sounds created using clay birds, whistles, clappers, bells, and a rain stick. The musical setting forms a second layer of the performance and is one of the great strengths of Teatrzyk Raz-dwa-trzyk, appreciated by audiences for many years.
