Pacofs is presenting a fascinating children’s play, titled Twee Stories, on Friday, 1 March, and Saturday.
It features texts narrated by Philip de Vos (Peter and the Wolf) and Corlia Fourie (Tintinyane, the Girl Who Sang like a Magic Bird) and music by composers Sergei Prokofiev and Peter Klatzow.
The stories will be performed in Afrikaans and English, respectively.
In this play, two beloved musical children’s stories are vividly brought to life by the instruments of the symphony orchestra. Furthermore, the stories are visually told by three shadow puppeteers and their collection of creative visual elements to present a production sure to delight and entertain audiences of all ages.
For young Peter, who lives in a Russian forest, a ferocious wolf threatens the simple life of him and his animal friends. In Africa, the young Tintinyane, the girl with the voice like a magic songbird, faces similar peril as her beautiful singing voice attracts the attention of the monster of the forest.
Both characters show the value of incredible bravery, intelligence, quick thinking, and creativity in their respective pursuit of saving both themselves and their friends.
