Age group: 2-5 years old

Last weekend I saw ''Jacque and the beanstalk'' ; a version for young people between 2-5.
The whole show lasted about 35-40 minutes. Everything was magic there ; a tiny space which is used by it's 5 dimensions and a narration that had no ups and downs. The whole story was being told by a storyteller who was giving and imaginry life to a puppet she found in her garden. The puppet in this story easily stole a hen that laid golden eggs , a golden harp and a piece of gold from the castle of the Giant. As easy as that.No trace of the giant and his wife.

The last third of the show was about ''how to plant a bean?'' ! Everyone recieved a bean and the instructions to follow. Adults were warned not to let any child alone with the beanstalk. The whole show wasn't about anything good or bad.It was about feeling a moment of magic.



P.S: The show was presented by http://www.illusiontheatre.com/
