antamapantahou puppet theatre: THE BOY WITH THE MAGIC FINGERS

The play
By a river, in an old watermill, there lived a foster boy called Stratis with an old grouching miller who drinks and drinks all day long.
Stratis is a kind and a hard worker boy, actually the only one that really works at the mill. He wants to become a violinist like some virtuosos ones. But the old miller doesn’t like that. He wants Stratis to just work hard. But Stratis is not
disappointed at all, he aims high, and his will is so strong that can reach the sky.

Muses and elves loved him at once and helped him with their own magic way. So when Stratis started playing the violin, all stood still and whispered: “this boy has magic fingers indeed and plays the violin like a virtuoso.
So then,
his reputation travelled all over to towns and villages and of course the miller wasn’t indifferent at
all...

The performance
It is a puppet theatre performance of puppets in different sizes and techniques (puppet with strings and Marot puppets), that uses story telling techniques combined with shadow theatre, while thescenery is continuously changing.
