PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
“Make a wish…just one wish…”
S - Messing with Stravinski tells a story of wishes, greed and the pursuit of happiness, where just thin lines seems to mark the borders, the story of the human being mirrored in the life of a single man.
Inspired by Stravinski’s “Histoire du soldat”, S is the union of the traditional Russian fairy tales and the Italian mask’s tradition, Parpignol Theatre creates a melting pot of music, classic theatre and dance evolving into a sensory theatre experience.
Parpignol focus its works into blending classical text and styles into an immersing experience in which the audience is living and creating the story together with the company.
The purpose is to leave behind the word “performance” and welcome the word “experience”, personal, different, memorable.
