Once Upon a Time in the Festive Bakery | 3+

Age: 3+ Duration: 45 min

“Once Upon a Time in the Festive Bakery…” is a playful and heartwarming show for the whole family about the courage to change, the joy of work, and how the greatest gifts are sometimes found in the most unexpected places.

An old oven smokes inside a huge hollow tree, filling the air with the scent of gingerbread—this is where the Christmas elves bake their gingerbread. The work is not only highly responsible but also dangerous, because the bakeries are set up in old, dry trees.

When Pudiņš, clumsy but witty and newly fired from his gift-wrapping job, arrives at the bakery run by the strict, old-fashioned Kūka, a funny and heartwarming adventure begins. Will old habits and new ideas find a way to coexist? Can the scent of gingerbread bring not only holiday cheer, but friendship too?
