February 5 - February 20, 2022
A beautiful, movement-based show that revisits the classic film THE RED BALLOON. Nothing can go right for the character of the old man, whose days are gray and dreary- until he is visited by a friendly red balloon. In the playful physical style of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, the old man- an adult version of the boy in the film- regains his youthful spirit, with the help of the red balloon!
Produced by special arrangement with Plays for New Audiences
