Romanian theatre production “Sleepy Little Pillow” tailor-made for toddlers

     Ion CreangÄƒ Theatre from Romania will perform "Sleepy Little Pillow", which is tailor-made for toddlers aged 1 to 3, in December and January.

     The story follows two little children who don't want to go to sleep, so using their imagination they transform their bedroom into the icy cold cabin of a submarine, the world at the bottom of the sea, a hot air balloon and colourful knolls. Hugging the pillows doesn't mean children are asleep. By using their imagination, children find that pillows can be great fun. Members of the audience are welcome to stay behind to play games with the artists after the performance.

     Ion CreangÄƒ Theatre produces programmes for children up to 12, with the aim of lighting up their fantasies and developing their visual and sensory perceptions. The company also implements educational, social and cultural projects for teachers, trainers, parents and guardians, and helps organise the annual "100, 1,000, 1,000,000 stories" international theatre festival for children in Romania. Since its founding in 1964, the company has received numerous awards in Europe and has been highly acclaimed by international audiences.
