The tin soldier arrives as a gift in a room full of toys. When night falls, the people go to sleep and the toys wake up! The tin soldier is enchanted by a paper ballerina. But among the other toys is the harlequin, who is jealous of their love, and so things get complicated. The soldier and the ballerina are suddenly separated, with the soldier getting lost in the outside world, embarking on a journey full of adventures, obstacles, and unexpected twists.
A tender story that has been passed down from generation to generation without losing any of the elements that make it timeless. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale, *The Tin Soldier*, this is a game unlike any other. On his journey with the ballerina, he makes friends and enemies, discovers new worlds, and learns what the world is like beyond the warmth of his childhood bedroom.
A play that speaks to the heart and the mind. A wonderful allegory about envy, respect, diversity, and the power of will. About the strength that love gives us to overcome life’s trials.
