The show is divided into two moments which alternate with each other: one part where the audience, seated at the sides of the stage, observes the dancers’ actions and another part where the audience, in small groups, is invited to enter the stage and participate. The show is rich with different languages: dance, sounds, images, interactive animations. However, what makes the show special is that every scene has its own particular movement-sensitive environment; the dancers’ movements cause new images and sounds to appear and compose the visual and sound frames which allow us to play with forms and colours…the world of butterflies.

Royale Ballet - The Nutcracker

In the early years of his young adult life C.S. Lewis believed the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than feel-good myth. That all changed after a particular encounter with his great friend and fellow author, J.R.R. Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis’ journey from Atheism to Christianity. From that point on Christmas, for Lewis, took on an entirely different meaning.
