Based on 'The Ugly Duckling' by Hans Christian Andersen, 'The Swan' tells the story of a lost little bird looking for its parents.
A fisherman comes across a single egg in a pond.
Suddenly, two little feet come popping out of the egg and begin waddling toward the nearest henhouse.
A chicken, chicks, ducks, and owls… none of these birds look anything like him.
He wanders over to a puddle to look at his own reflection hoping for an idea about his origins.
He follows the clues he finds and overcomes obstacles to meet his true family.
This stunningly beautiful non-verbal show features multiple styles of puppetry, breathtaking scenery, and delightful original music.
A perfect choice for our youngest audiences!
Recommended for everyone ages 2 to 5.
