Blizzard: State Puppet Theatre – Burgas, Bulgaria

Visual-musical, epic and poetic speechless show

This happened far north where the evil ice Blizzard rages, the mistress of Dark and Cold. The only thing she is afraid of are the flames of fire and the rays of the Sun. And the Sun is an invincible worrier, the guardian of life and light.

There, on the shore of the cold North Sea a poor woman and her two children – the boy Yato and the girl  Tönne lived in an old yurt. The woman took care of everything alone. Yato, the boy skated around all day long and was neglectful of the housework and pretty Tönne was always busy combing and braiding her long hair. So, one day the worst happened…. The raging Blizzard grabbed the mother and carried her far, far away to her ice yurt….

The boy and the girl went looking for their mother trying to save her life. And with the trials they endured and the obstacles they overcame along the way, they grew up.
