Against the dark, progressive and glittering background of 1920's Berlin, Lotte Reiniger changed the world of animation and filmmaking forever.
A full 11 years before Disney made Snow White she pioneered the multiplane shadow puppetry techniques still used today, and showed the world that animation could be its own medium, turning fairytales into feature length magic.
Inspired by her story, we are determined to bring it to life on stage.
Mixing theatre, dance, accrobatics, shadow puppetry (of course!), movement and storytelling in our own unique AKIMBO style we hope our show LOTTE will entertain, educate and inspire people from all ages!
The show is still under development, but you can catch a first glimpse at Oslo Fringe Festival 2023!
