SOLD OUT! CODA Dance School: “Elf Factory” Interactive Dance Performance

Every year, December turns homes into a stage for anticipation and wonder—but did you know that at the most unexpected time, while everyone is asleep, a very different kind of factory switches on at home? Santa’s elves, tired of spending the year as mere gift deliverers, gather in a secret “Culture Factory” and set off on their own brand of chaos: pranks, games, laughter and surprises that turn homes upside down. With this performance, we want to remind children (and their parents) that Christmas is not only about peace and order, but also about daring to be mischievous, creative and joyful. The true spirit of Christmas is born where there is room for laughter, play and little, gentle bouts of silliness.

About the performance: Everything in Santa’s workshop is meant to run according to strict rules—gifts are counted, lists checked, and the elves work nonstop. But this year, a few elves decide that too much order is boring. At night, while the people who live in the houses are asleep, they venture out into the world and set up their own “culture factory,” a place where the most inventive, funniest and most unexpected pranks come to life. They hide on shelves, wrap themselves in toilet paper, switch shoes around, and invite children to join their fun, interactive world. Together with crisis-management virtuoso elf Tadas Jakas (Klaipėda State Musical Theatre) and professional, certified movement experts from CODA dance school, young audience members will become active participants in the pranks.
