At Vienna’s Lilarum Puppet Theatre, two shadows decide they want a life of their own.
Theresa Luise Gindlstrasser’s “Shadow Party” follows Wolke and Schalk, shadows that normally belong to Mika and Sasha. Tired of simply accompanying their young companions, the two set off to experience their own adventures, including going down slides and swinging wildly.
Their new freedom does not last without complications. After leaving Mika and Sasha without shadows, the two wandering characters are soon overcome by a wistful feeling.
The theatre is offering a September promotion for young visitors: every child who brings a bag of chestnuts receives a free ticket to the play.
