About
A puppet and object theater take on Andersen's Little Match Girl, set in today's Berlin. On New Year's Eve, old Frau Friedel walks the snowy streets of a city that has changed around her, and she has lost a lot along the way. In the glow of each match she strikes, things look different. A detailed Berlin street set carries much of the story, so it suits school-age kids who enjoy a quiet, thoughtful show.
