Let the Creative Adventure Begin!
Forest League Takes Root in Hungary – Let the Creative Adventure Begin! 🎭🎸🦊
We’ve just arrived in beautiful Balatonalmádi a few days ago, and things are already in full swing! With the fresh spring air and the sound of birdsong all around us, we’ve jumped straight into crafting the newest puppet theatre adventure: Forest League.
This unique project brings together three artists from Finland and Hungary—myself (Erzsébet Tamás), Michael Kantola, and the brilliant Hungarian writer and performer Czoma Nóra (whose new book will be published soon – stay tuned, you’ll be able to access more info via QR code here: Kalandok Tündérvölgyben link! 📖📲).
Michael is busy composing original music for the show, blending catchy melodies with the characters’ wild personalities. I’m knee-deep in wood shavings, carving the new puppets from beautiful aspen and bass wood we’ve been gifted locally. Meanwhile, Nóra is bringing her storytelling magic to life, helping us shape the narrative and structure of the performance.
Together, we’re reimagining what a puppet show can be—interactive, immersive. That’s the heartbeat of Forest League. Our aim is to invite children to take part in the action and save their forest city. 🌍
This residency, supported by Culture Moves Europe, is all about experimenting with audience engagement—something we feel passionately about. Because in the end, it’s not just a show. It’s an invitation. And as our motto goes:
"Together, we are capable of miracles!"
Stay tuned for more updates from our workshop, and behind-the-scenes peeks as Forest League comes to life!
