Those little children have come from a fairy land - a magical place! They read with colours, they speak in an unknown language, they use different numbers to cound.
A girl who has come from that far away land, refuses to become like everyone else. She is looking to find her 5th kitten- the one that no one else in the family can see.
Willing to touch her dreams, she goes downstairs, at the basement. Where is this little kitten? Is it inside the book pages? Is it inside this old boot or behind the music notes?
Finally, are there 5 kittens? (While we grow up?)
No matter what, we are on her side!

The company
"Gypsy Moth" (Petrina Vassou & Αlexandra Iordanidou ) begun their puppet journey from Yannitsa Theatre Workshop.
Their first puppet show Selana (for adults) was awarded at the 5th Meeting of New Greek Puppeteers which took place at the "15th International Puppet-Mime Festival" of Kilkis.
Their first childrens show Around the hanged wash at 30 minutes was also awarded at the 6th Meeting of New Greek Puppeteers at the “16th International Puppet-Mime Festival” of Kilkis. At the same year, they were also chosen to participate in Unima (International Union of Puppetry) Womans Commission Project, a collaboration of new female puppeteers from Europe countries. Τheir next show, But there is one more was occasioned by their participation to that Project.
 
In September 2016, their show Around the hanged wash in 30 minutes won the first prize at the “4th Theatre Festival for Children and Adolescents" organized by the 81st Thessaloniki International Exhibition Centre.
