The Enormous Turnip
Also available as an interactive theatre play session with 
A Feast of Folk Tales
DNA imaginativley dish up a trilogy of classic European
folk tales, blending puppetry & visual theatre techniques, percussion
and audience participation.
Inside a dusty attic, a trunk full of tales comes
to life...
Rod and string puppets creatively tell the adventure
of a hungry family & their enormous turnip.
The old man's dreams come to life through shadow play as we magically
discover that, when we pull together, even the littlest one can
make all the difference!
Through the window of a tiny cottage we join the
little girl and her mother.
Simmering away at the stove is the magic cooking pot.
Get carried away with us, as the porridge pot overflows, bubbling
over into the audience!
Can the children help save the village from the sea of sweet porridge?
Out from the old toy trunk rolls the story of the
runaway pancake.
The seven hungry little boys can't catch the pancake puppet as he
jumps out of the pan and away!
Join him on his adventure as he rolls across the fields and the
imaginations of the audience!
