Marica Tárnok and Mari Sz. Nagy's puppet production is literally a recyclable show. The tiger's head is made from a shoe box, an eggbox-decorated crocodile races along on a skateboard, and two plastic bags are transformed into a jellyfish in front of our eyes. Materials, objects and tools familiar from our everyday lives appear on the stage in an unusual and surprising context, helping to remind children that with a bit of creative imagination, they can make a game out of anything. The two talented stage presences will be joined by their equally gifted accomplice, Lilla László, who will provide a live display of her wide array of voices. Using existing objects and sounds borrowed from nature, an entire charmed forest is brought to life. At its centre - though definitely not its king - is Kancsil, the mouse-deer. The animal, indigenous to Indonesia, has some rather ambitious desires: his dream is to become the greatest and most powerful ruler of all the animals. But will he get the chance? To find out, Marica Puppet Theatre will be counting on the active participation of the children in the audience. Then in the activity session following the performance, the kids will also have the chance to use recyclable materials to create various characters and objects, which they can even use to carry on the story at home!
