Based on the story of the same name by Yannis Plahouris <\/span><\/p>\n

It was the last leaf on the poplar tree. It was trembling so much, that a strong wind might blow and take it away. \u201cAutumn! Autumn is here!\u201d the sparrow would exclaim every morning. \u201cEverywhere I go, in the other parks in town, the trees are getting ready for winter. Only here, in this park, this leaf doesn’t want to fall yet!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut why should I fall?\u201d asked the leaf. \u201cI like it here, so high up I am.[…] I like it, oh, how I like life!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

So he held on tightly without falling. And the more he loved life, the tighter he clung to the poplar bough. <\/span><\/p>\n

The group \u201cAstronauts\u201d presents for the first time, the fairy tale by Yannis Plahouris, \u201cThe Leaf that Didn’t Want to Fall.\u201d It is the story of a leaf that\u2019s different! A leaf that loved life with passion! Through the alternation of seasons, spring, summer, autumn, winter and spring again, we see it facing the difficulties of life with courage, defending and asserting its goals, observing carefully, understanding, forgiving and loving. Until one cold Christmas night, this love of his manages to keep the winter chill at bay. A dramatic narrative that aspires to straddle the line between humor and emotion against a Christmas backdrop. We use mixed techniques including prose, pantomime, shadow theater, masks and live music (flute, guitar, voice and various percussion instruments). <\/span><\/p>\n
