Once Upon a Time in the Holiday Bakery | 3+

Age: 3+ Duration: 45 min. “Once upon a time in the holiday bakery…” is a playful and heartfelt show for the whole family about the courage to change, the joy of work, and how sometimes the greatest gifts are found in the most unexpected places. In a huge hollow tree, an old oven smokes and smells of gingerbread—this is where the Christmas elves bake gingerbread. The work is not only highly responsible but also dangerous, as the bakeries are set up in old, dry trees. When the clumsy but witty Pudiņš, who has just been dismissed from his gift-wrapping job, arrives at the bakery run by the strict and old-fashioned Kūka, a funny and heartfelt adventure begins. Will it be possible to reconcile old habits with new ideas? Can the smell of gingerbread bring not only the holidays, but also friendship?
