The performance
A girl, Flox, discovers the world using the freedom of a child's imagination, until... a big "must" interrupts her game and forces her to follow paths that she herself wouldn't choose. The fear and the anxiety replace the joy and the discovery.
But.. every problem carries a gift with it.. for if we leave the fear behind there's no difficulty without solution!
Creation: Firdin Migdin
Original music: Giorgos Pavlidis, Mpampis Politopoulos.
This performance would not be the same without the studies in Ayusaya Puppet Theatre - Stathis Markopoulos and the support of International Puppet Theatre of Kilkis - Juanjo Corales.
The group
The group FiRdin MiGdiN consists of Zoi Vlassi and Natassa Tapaki. They both graduated from the Department of Theatrical Studies at the School of Fine Arts of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and studied at the Royal School of Dramatic Art in Madrid. They collaborate artistically since 2004.
They have been actively involved in puppetry since 2007, searching for forms of theatrical narration and poetry using image, objects, music and motion. They have studied next to Stathis Markopoulos, Christos Aytsidis and they have attended classes with Rene Baker, Koldo Vio, Italo Carcamo, Jordi Bertran, Roberto White, the Handspring Puppet Compay, the State Puppet Theatre of Varna and others.
They perform for children and adults in theatres, schools, museums, streets and squares. In 2011 they organized the 1st International Puppet Festival of Corfu. They have participated in various international puppet festivals in Greece and abroad (Spain, Germany, Argentina, Brasil, Palestine). In 2014 they co-founded the Geppetto laboratory in Rethymnon-Crete, a space for art and creative education.
