CODA Dance School: Interactive Dance Performance “Elf Factory”

Every year, December turns homes into a stage for the anticipation of wonder—but did you know that at the most unexpected moment, while everyone is asleep, a very different kind of factory comes to life at home? Tired of spending the whole year simply delivering presents, Santa’s elves gather in a secret “Culture Factory” and set their own brand of chaos in motion: 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 cheerful. The true spirit of Christmas is born where there is room for laughter, play and little, gentle absurdities.

About the performance: Everything in Santa’s workshop is supposed to follow strict order—presents counted, lists checked, elves working nonstop. But this year, a few elves decide that too much order is boring. At night, while the people at home 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 are born. They hide on shelves, wrap themselves in toilet paper, swap shoes around, and invite children to join their fun, interactive world. Alongside crisis-management virtuoso elf Tadas Jaku (Klaipėda State Musical Theatre) and professional, certified masters of elf movement from CODA Dance School, young audience members will become active participants in the pranks.
