This award-winning original play for young children uses a rich mix of storytelling, physical theatre, clowning, puppetry and music and song to tell the tale of a puppy’s search for friendship in the wilderness of the Alps.
Snowbound in Grandma's little house on top of the mountain, fun-loving Oskar goes out in the snow to find a friendly animal to play with. But Oskar is chased by a hungry fox and has a lucky escape when he falls down a deep hole and lands on top of a young hibernating marmot. Marmot forgives Oskar for waking her up and, using her amazing whistling and digging skills, alerts Grandma to where Oskar is and helps him dig a tunnel to escape the fox. Oskar has so much fun with his new-found friend that he wants to play more but must wait until spring for Marmot to finish her long winter’s sleep.
“Outstanding. This was my own preschooler's first ever live show and I am so massively grateful to Theatre Fideri Fidera for making it such a positive and memorable experience.”
