“The Little Things” started life as a show for children, but rapidly transformed into a sassy and fast- moving performance for their parents, that is seen by children and adults on two very different levels.
Born from a view of the world as seen at knee-height, by children, and the world they discover, LPC transforms from the innocence of a hungry caterpillar into a majestic butterfly, exploring and dazzling the world. Using puppetry and dance, physical theatre and music, it blends the comic directness and sincere naivety of childhood with the often-absurd struggle of parents to be great role-models whilst also stretching to keep the very grown- up pleasures and releases of adult life.
This is a riotous, fresh and inspiring piece of physical theatre for anyone who is a child, has ever been a child or has children in their lives.
