Hungry Little Shadow is a puppet show for all ages, inspired by a Slovenian folk tale.
Very young children should watch with a parent or guardian.
In a tiny, magical restaurant just big enough for a table for one, a grand tale is told. Lilu, also known as Shadow, is a hungry, orphaned kitten, desperate for a meal. This is no ordinary dining experience. Even the silverware gets transformed as the story of Shadow the Cat unfolds.
