Embark on a magical journey when this year's children's ballet unveils a plethora of fanciful daydreams, decorations and costumes

How about dancing sausages, snow trolls or flesh-eating plants? Or how about smug monster divas, a ghostly ballroom party and sweeping dance? In The Fantasy Traveller you’ll get it all. The ballet spotlights the story of the lonely boy Ferdinand whose talent is daydreaming. Together with the audience he fantasises about exploring magical woodlands, perilous pirate ships, spooky moorlands and a mysterious monster cave.

Director Shane Brox is known for programs such as Shanes symfoni on DR P2 and the award-winning children's program Shanes verden on DR Ramasjang, where his quirky tales are creatively elaborated using recycled bin treasures and glitter. Together with choreographer and dancer Esther Lee Wilkinson, Brox has created a story about the woolly-brained Ferdinand whose imagination runs wild. The ballet is performed by students from the Royal Danish Ballet School. Children of all ages can look forward to a creative encounter with Ferdinand and to a play nurtured by the light and dark forces within us all.

The production of The Fantasy Traveller has been made possible with the generous support of the Bikuben Foundation.
