The Spellbound boy

The Crescent

Cost: £8 | £5

Open Arts presents: The Spellbound Boy - an adaption of Ravel’s L’enfant et les sortilège. The story of a troubled boy, who after being told off by his Mum, goes into a fit of rage and destroys many things in his bedroom.

His belongings then come to life to show him the disappointment and hurt that his destruction has caused. What has caused this upset and anger? Can he put things right? Will he be forgiven…?

There is a magical array of spellbinding characters performed by a cast of 50 from Open Arts’ Community Choir, Luminous Soul dance, Monday Players drama and Gamelan ensemble. Open Arts’ creative writing group has added to the adapted libretto, musicians have added to the musical score and visual art groups have created props and costumes.

Open Arts is an arts and disability organisation, which engages with disabled people in delivering high quality activities and events across a range of art forms.

Based in the Crescent Arts Centre, the organisation is delighted to be celebrating their 25th Birthday and this event is the first in a series of events this year to mark the occasion. They are also the longest residing company in the Crescent and we are delighted to play host to their first event to mark their birthday celebrations!

Please note that the 7.30pm performance only, will be audio described.
