Ropes, threads, fabrics, lamps and shadows become their toys. They tell stories and imagine a world in which the factory has reopened and their parents have jobs again. The only way to make this happen in the real world is to convince the Emperor to reopen the factory. But perhaps there is another way: deception. This original puppet theatre production is an adaptation of the world-famous fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. It is not merely a disturbing story, but also an introduction for children to the issues that shape the contemporary world: politics, consumerism, globalisation and the struggle for a better life.
