Latvian Puppet Theatre performance "Mushrooms"

Ance Muižniece

Popular science musical MUSHROOMS

/7+/

Every Latvian knows that mushroom picking is a search for hidden treasures. But there are also those who love not only mushroom sauce, but mushrooms themselves to the core. These are the true mushroom pickers, forest shamans, and wandering scientists, who search and study with such great zeal and passion that sometimes it seems they themselves would like to be mushrooms. If there were a Mushroom Eurovision in the depths of the forest, what would the song of the chanterelle, fly agaric, porcini, or mold be like? Passionate mushroom pickers will step into the skin of mushrooms and offer you a popular science and musical mushroom show for children and adults that will leave no one indifferent, even those who have not yet been enchanted by mushrooms!

We warn you that a smoke machine is used during the performance.
