The Witch Sentouka and the Secret of Chrysalos: Kouklotheatro Kritis Puppet Show

Crete's own puppet company brings its new black-light show to the Venizelio Conservatory: three shows on Sunday 22 November.

Kouklotheatro Kritis, the Heraklion puppet company that has been touring Greek school halls and theatres for years, brings its brand-new production to Chania for one Sunday. A greedy witch, Sentouka, goes after the gold hidden in the mythical volcano Chrysalos and ends up threatening a city in the clouds where the birds live, until two small friends, a blackbird and an owl, set off to save it. It is staged in black-light technique, so the puppets glow out of the dark, and it runs 55 minutes, which is about right for small children. Three shows at the Venizelio Conservatory: 11:00, 12:30 and 17:30. In Greek; tickets through ticketservices.gr.
