Can a forest hide in a theatre? Where does it begin and what is needed for a completely different world to be born from sounds, materials, objects, and imagination?
"The World of Forest Robbers" invites families to venture where spectators usually do not go – behind the scenes of the Lithuanian National Drama Theatre. However, this will not be an ordinary tour. It will not be enough to just look around and observe: to discover the forest and meet its inhabitants, you will have to listen, search, create, and act together. This educational experience was inspired by the new play for children, "Ronja, the Robber's Daughter".
At the beginning of the journey, there is no forest yet. First, its sounds are heard. Later, small hints will begin to appear in the theatre spaces – tracks, strange materials, colors, and objects that can turn into something completely different. Opening doors invisible to the audience will reveal how costumes are created, what stage objects are born from, and how many unexpected transformations the theatre's backstage hides.
Children will become creators themselves and will be able to create their own robber attribute - in this case, a punk crest, similar to the one that can be seen in the play "Ronja, the Robber's Daughter", but to continue the journey, you will need more than just imagination. A challenge awaits along the way that cannot be overcome alone - you will need to act together as a team.
We will not reveal in advance where the forest tracks will lead. The most important discovery of the journey will be waiting at the end: the strongest things in the forest are not always those that can be seen.
