-
It’s Christmas Eve and everyone in the village is snuggled up at home. Nobody notices the lonely little deer left outside in the cold...
While playing alone in the snow, Carw longs for warmth and kindness. Suddenly, a shimmering little light appears! Although he hasn’t ventured far from his village before, Carw follows the little light on a magical adventure through the forest where he finds the love and strength within.
Written and performed by Casi Wyn (Children’s Laureate of Wales 2022-23), this enchanting new show will bring magic, music and dance to young audiences across Wales this winter.
A co-production from Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru and National Dance Company Wales.
