This beautiful, movement-based show revisits the classic film The Red Balloon and will delight audiences of all ages and speakers of all languages. Nothing can go right for the old man, whose days are gray and dreary, until he is visited by a friendly red balloon. In the playful physical style of 1930s silent movies, the old man—an adult version of the boy in the film—regains his youthful spirit.
