Welcome to a tale of squabbles, scuffles…and buttons! George grows grapes. Bessie grows cabbages. One loves the sun. One loves the rain. A petty squabble grows and grows and grows into…The War of the Buttons!
Based on Louis de Pergaud’s wonderfully colourful tale, buttons and friendships are lost and won, games are played, and audiences young and old rediscover their inner child. Come and be taken to a world where you are invited to eat birthday cake, take sides and where a button can be a kiss, a wish, a present, or a trophy of war!
The War of the Buttons is told through an energetic mix of music, puppetry, clowning, movement and sign language. Its distinctive non-verbal vocabulary makes it uniquely accessible to deaf, hearing and international audiences.
