Wintuk is an enchanting winter tale about a boy named Wintuk and
his quest to find snow and adventure. Wintuk lives in a city
where the arrival of winter has brought long shadows and intense
cold - but no snow! He interacts with an extraordinary cast of
high-energy urban street characters, including acrobats, dancers
and talking marionettes. But when the snow does not arrive, he
embarks on a quest with three companions - a female shaman who's
lost in the city, a shy man destined to discover his courage,
and the shadow of a young girl - to find the snow and bring it
back to where it belongs.
The adventurers journey to an imaginary Arctic - a world without
sunlight - where they encounter the rich culture of the People
of the North and extraordinary giant characters made of ice.
When at last the sun returns, they fly home on the wings of a
giant crane and generate a swirling snowstorm.
The show is playful, musical, and bursting with the energy of
the city and the broad sweep of nature. A cast of 50 performers
weaves thrilling circus arts, breathtaking theatrical effects
and memorable songs into a meaningful seasonal story that
resonates with the whole family.
