New theatre season for Vologda Regional Puppet theatre "Teremok" is opened by premiere of long-expected spectacle based on the play of Astrid Lindgren " Mio, my Mio"

Spectacle tells a story about fairy-tale adventures of brave prince Mio in the Magical land, where dreams come true.

Together with puppets there are also actors on stage, playing in a so-called "living plan". This factor required a huge work with scenic costumes of characters: magically beautiful and kingly luxurious. Difficult decorations and costumes, big amount of dolls of different systems... All these things took long and painstaking work since we start creating this spectacle in Winter.

"Spectacle " Mio, my Mio " is made according to specifics of a popular today's genre - Fantasy, " - Says director of the theatre Elena Bukharina. - In my opinion puppet theatre has a lot of possibilities and means of expression to work within this genre than many other arts. Magical possibilities of a doll are unlimited. And the internal sense of puppet theatre - to breathe life into non-living things is almost a fantasy thing as well. That's why possibilities of puppet theatre are closely matching to means of expressions of computer graphics or even a movie.

The show is quite serious, but kids shall not only know fun games and entertainment. You have to speak with children about serious matters as well, about those that develop and touch the very soul. Of course it is hard to find the correct language and tools to get into such "adult" things as loneliness, cruelty and even death. But otherwise it is impossible for a young human to grow as a responsive and sensitive person, able to empathize with others. And without these qualities person will suffer the hard illness of a cold heart. I believe that a good show is the way to get closer to human soul, no matter adult's or children's".

Of course, " Mio, my Mio " - first of all, is a fairy-tale. And, like in any other fairy-tale, there are real magical lands and exciting adventures, and heroic battles with evil and treacherous knight Kato. And, how it must be in fairy-tale, Good will triumph over Evil!

Used in show modern technologies and fascinating costumes of characters, compared with mysterious atmosphere - will leave a lasting impression on the viewer.
