Stories for children ages 4 and up

  • The Fisherman and the Golden Fish A unique version of the tale of the fisherman and the golden fish, using a technique whereby the plot moves forward via paper folding. Surprising transitions add a new layer to the familiar story.
  • The Paper Crane A paper-folding story based on a Chinese folk tale. Yang owns a thriving restaurant, but ever since they built a new road, no one comes anymore. One day, a poor stranger appears. Yang feeds him generously, and in return the stranger gives him a gift that changes his luck – a magical paper bird. A poetic tale about a crane that comes to life through paper folding, inspired by the art of origami.
  • The Chinese Cube Chinese stories emerge from a cube which folds, splits, divides and creates new forms and images, inspired by Chinese culture and art. The cube tells of little boy with a “green thumb" and a wise old emperor, the power of painting and skilled Chinese brothers whose exceptional talents end up saving their lives.
  • Hey, Elephant Small Object Theater made up of wooden puzzle pieces that are taken apart and put together
  • The Three Little Pigs A loose adaptation of the classic tale through the technique of object theater, in which children are active partners in the plot’s progression
  • A Mouse in the House Stories about mouse neighbors and prejudices, using puppets, props and lots of mice
  • The Secret in the Matchbox Story theater with props and the puppet, Shushu the Cat, based on the book by Val Willis
