Ripstop Theatre

Shadow puppetry, lanterns, storytelling, playful slide projections... and an old lady who won't go to bed.

This animated mix of shadow play and storytelling about a little old lady, a girl and some boxing hares takes you on a gentle journey through the darkness of night, over the light of the moon and back in time for bed.

The little old lady hates the night so much she won't go to bed. She dreams and schemes of getting rid of it and tries to imagine times past when there was no light at all until the crow stole some.

Drawing on a traditional Inuit folk tale Luminous Tales also reflects modern fables and superstitions about the night.
