Petals & Tales

As we grow older does our imagination become less important? Do we let go of the magic? Why does everything have to make sense? As children transition into teenagers, they play less, forgoing imagination and fantasy for more serious pursuits and relationships as they try to find their place in the world. Can we remind children to hold on to the wonderful world of fairy tales?

Held at The Oak Room, Tiverton – Petals & Tales is a performance featuring dance, music, poetry and fairy tales. The show, performed in the round, features a magic tree surrounded by hundreds of flower petals.

We tell the story of the Flowerpot Man, a magical tale that encourages children to allow wonderful, incredible and improbable things to be a part of their lives.

Petals & Tales is a collaboration between Panta Rei Danseteater (NO) and the Korean company SangSang Maru.

To facilitate the performance in the round some seats are cushions on the floor. Please arrive early or let us know if you need a standard seat saving by emailing theteam@oakroom.org
