Perô, or Mysteries of the Night, an award-winning collaboration between Speeltheater Holland and Childsplay returns to Orange County for three performances on February 20 and 21st! An adaptation of the popular children’s book by French author Michel Tournier (Pierrot ou les secrets de la nuit), this performance tells a story of Pero, a baker in a tiny Italian village with a broken heart. Pero is bashful and has a secret crush on laundress Colombina, but she is attracted to someone else. Will Colombina ever know? Will the village run out of bread because Pero is too sad to bake? This performance will include puppets, actors, singers, and live musicians to bring this love story to life.
