Following a sell-out season last year, celebrated director and choreographer Arthur Pita brings his magical dance theatre show The Little Match Girl back to Sadler's Wells this Christmas. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's classic story, this tale of a young street girl's hopes and dreams is beautifully told through dance, song and original live music.

 

A snowy stage sets the scene for an icy cold Christmas Eve, where the little match girl paces the emptying streets, trying to sell her matches. Cold, hungry and with just one final match flame to keep her warm, she sees a vision of her beloved grandmother. Leaving her troubled life behind, she is guided up into the night sky by her grandmother, who takes her to the moon. 

 

Award-winning choreographer Arthur Pita returns to Sadler’s Wells following recent successes Mischief and The Metamorphosis at ROH2winner of Olivier, Southbank Sky Arts and Critics Circle National Dance Awards.
