An enchanting tale from Argentina, performed in simple Spanish for 6 – 10 year olds, teachers, families and friends.
Brother and sister, Luis and Natalia, are playing in the foothills of the Andes. They see a beautiful, shimmering ball and chase after it. However, the ball belongs to the cold-eyed witch of the mountains! Natalia is trapped by the witch’s magic and Luis must race against time to save her. He seeks help from Atahualpa, a wise old man, and from the most noble bird of the Andes…el Cóndor!
Théâtre Sans Frontières brought its flair for engaging children in different languages and cultures to this Argentinian folktale, with a combination of puppets, actors and live music.
