YurtaKids! A Story of a Man and His Shadow

I liked this show because it is very funny, a bit like a cartoon but with real people, and you get to sit in a yurt! I thought the story was a bit confusing though.

The yurt is small and so the actors are very close to you. It’s dark at first and they use special lights to make everything glow and look spooky. There is no talking in the show, only a man playing a guitar.

It is hard to describe the story and I wasn’t sure what was happening sometimes. There are two characters: one is a normal-looking man who is best friends with a white balloon, and the other looks creepy and evil and is dressed as a skeleton, wearing spooky black and white make-up, with a long, pointy nose.

The ordinary man lays out a white square on the floor and this is his invisible house. The creepy man chases him around and is always trying to catch him. It’s a bit like a game and a bit like Tom & Jerry, because lots of funny silly things happen when they are chasing and fighting each other, like they fall over a lot.

I liked all the funny fights best!
