Le Clan des Songes from France to perform "Bella"
*************************************************
     Le Clan des Songes from France will perform the children's puppet theatre production "Bella" in January next year. The show promises to transport audiences on an adventure with Bella in the air.
 
     "Bella" is a non-verbal poetic puppetry theatre show. The story centres on Bella, a solitary child who is curious about the world around her. She wants to fly, to break the laws of gravity and to reach the clouds. One day, she loses weight suddenly with no reason. At first, she enjoys climbing trees, letting go from a high branch and gently floating to the ground, almost like a leaf. But soon she becomes so light that she is at the mercy of the wind, which whips her up in its gusts, higher and higher, in a surreal and heady spiral. Where would it take her? Would it ever set her back on the ground?
 
     Le Clan des Songes was established in France in 1990. Its works reach the audience in a language far beyond the medium of words, and the troupe has toured in France and numerous festivals around the world. Since 2007, the troupe has been devoted to creating puppetry productions for young children, such as "Fragile", "City" and "Bella".
