Children's Theatre: The Bench - by Teater Refleksion

An elderly woman holds fast to her regular bench in the park and wants to be left alone. Yet life keeps intruding: a man with a newspaper, a boy on a skateboard, birds, and a curious dog. Behind her weathered exterior lies something fragile, and slowly she discovers that unexpected encounters can lead to connection - perhaps even a friendship she didn't know she was missing.

"The Bench" is a wordless puppet theatre performance with simple props and expressive puppets, directed by Bjarne Sandborg and performed by puppeteers Rebekah Caputo and Neasa Ni Chuanaigh. The performance lasts approximately 40 minutes and is aimed at both children and adults.

"The Bench is something as beautiful as a wordless puppet theatre performance with something important at heart. An earthy story in miniature that, in Bjarne Sandborg's direction, is made relevant and present by the two puppeteers Rebekah Caputo and Neasa Ni Chuanaigh."
