A lively ballet for the little ones - "The Candy Fairies" - is the final performance of the students of the Baltic Ballet Theatre (BBT) studio, performed together with professional ballet soloists Kristina Tarasevičiūtė, Evelina Fokina, Audrone Stelione.
During the performance, the little ones will see a fairy tale about three candy fairies - Caramel, Chocolate and Sugarplum, who all the time were flying on a big cloud of cotton candy, were the best friends and enjoyed each other's treats. But one day, Chocolate turned into hot chocolate, which made a hole in the cotton candy cloud, and the brown beauty fell to the ground, where the children immediately found her and loved her immensely - chocolate is one of the tastiest treats. Then the other two fairies got jealous of Chocolate and landed on the ground, where they
had a fight about which one the children liked better. Suddenly, the wind of their anger blew away the cloud of cotton candy and they were all left on the ground. The fairies had no choice but to ask the children which of their sweets tasted best? Of course, the fairies' friendship won out. After all, children love everything: chocolate, caramel and candy.
The inspiration for the performance came from the motif of the fairy tale "The Candy Fairy", whose libretto was written by the choreographer Marija Simona Smolskienė, who aimed to awaken the imagination of the young audience through the taste receptors. The visualisation of the video projections, their close contact with the story's narrative, and the motif of movement performed by the ballerinas, gracefully and artistically expressed in the language of professional ballet, were used to involve the little viewers in the action. Nino Rota's music, specially adapted for children (from the soundtracks of Fellini's films), is particularly expressive and eloquent in its emotion. The project creates a friendly environment, uses eco-friendly luminescent costume details and sensitive sound effects, all of which enhance the emotional experience for the young audience.
