Main stage
We have to be careful what we wish for. What would
you wish for from the fruit of a magical tree? What would two little children
wish for? Peti and Panni meet Virgonc and Huncut during a wholly everyday
family trip, who can only be seen by the children. Things start to take a weird
turn when the fruit of a magical tree starts granting the wishes of the
children. This sets off a series of adventures during which the children
quickly realize that they were mistaken when they thought they will easily
manage without their parents. It quickly turns out that it is not that fancy
when no adults are around to say “you can’t do that” as does the fact that it’s
not so jolly eating sweets all the time. The tree of life mesmerizes Peti and
Panni in a way that their story becomes a fable about family life and the
danger of endless desire, but also shows what would happen without rules or how
debilitating can overzealous concern of smothering love be. The solution – that
it is not good to live in an upside down world – is made clear to the children
and the two snipper-snappers help them in a rather curious way to find their
parents.
