"A happy, happy Christmas, which can bring back to us the illusions of our childhood days, remind the old man of the joys of youth, and bring the sailor or the traveler from many thousands of miles back, to his native hearth, to the cozy home" - Charles Dickens.
 
The play is based on the short story of the same name by the famous English writer Charles Dickens, which tells the story of the miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who sees no point in enjoying Christmas until three Ghosts visit him on Christmas Eve. Today, the story has become a Christmas tradition in its own right, touching old and young, poor and rich as much as it did in 1843 when it first appeared. It's one of the best Christmas stories of all time, and… the very first.
 
Time and its calculation, measurement, and recording mechanisms have become the most important medium of the stage play.
We see a strange object on the stage, like a big clock, like a mysterious make-up room, where the actors preparing for the performance count the minutes remaining until the performance, and thus loudly remind us of the constant flow of time...
The actors who play the story's main character Scrooge and his late friend Marley use the principles of modern clowning on stage, which gives them a lot of space and power to tell this Victorian story in a modern way that is evocative, unexpected and interesting.
Media from different eras are used in the performance and the images broadcast in them evoke memories of the past, allow us to observe the Christmas images of the present from the outside and fantasize what kind of Christmas we are waiting for!!!
