You won't fail to be engaged and enchanted by this marvellous and mischievous production, featuring a very carefully selected collection of stories and folklore from around the region. This is a brand new fusion of two of our most acclaimed productions Dancing with Dragons and Under the Dragon Moon (both of which garnered Five Star reviews in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe). 

We searched for suitable tales from all over South East Asia, and now we bring you The Crane's Gratitude from Japan, Tenali Raman and the Three Thieves from India, and The Four Dragons from China, amongst others.

We playfully present these fascinating folk tales through energetic physical theatre, masks and puppetry. With fun, colour and music, this is theatre that will enthral and entertain both young and old alike. Lively action, beautifully crafted stories, and multi-layered performances highlight interesting morals and questions that will challenge and engage. This is a marvellous opportunity to discover some of the region's colourful heritage of folk tales in a fun and very accessible form.
