BOBEK puppet group: MOUSE TALES

MOUSE TALES
 
This show is made up of a collage of short stories, narrated by Mateja and Vito as bedtime stories to little mice. Each story is played on a different cheese slice, every mouse hero gets his or her story. In the story about a cloud, a little mouse is scared away by a cloud shaped like a cat. In the story about a journey, a mouse buys a car and almost has a car accident. He decides to buy a pair of feet instead and goes to his mother on foot. Very Tall Mouse and Very Short Mouse are playing hide and seek, and discover the worlds of children and adults. In a story about a wishing well, a mouse wishes for a friend. And in the last tale, a little mouse flies a rocket made of cheese all the way to the moon, where there is always plenty of cheese.

The puppet show Mouse Tales portrays little heroes, little mice who deal with the same problems and worries like children do. They all seek comfort in their parents' arms. And mouse parents can tell wonderful tales, just like human parents. These stories speak about fears, creative and imaginary journeys, small and big wishes. It is suitable for children aged 3 and above, and is 35 minutes long
