THE LION AND THE BIRD
Kaunas State Puppet Theatre, Lithuania

This play is a subtle and inspiring tale about friendship and its meaning. One day, Lion finds an injured Bird in his autumnal garden. This Lion is different from other lions: he is very sensitive and caring, so he allows Bird to live in his cozy home. Thus begins an unexpected but true and profound friendship between two very different animals. Days go by, Christmas comes and goes, Bird recovers and wants to leave, so the friends inevitably have to part... However, true friendship never disappears - the warm feeling always travels together, and a dear friend lives in a special place - in the heart.

Until the moment when the friends meet again...
