Myths and legends
Myths, legends and age-old tales from around the world are lifted off the pages and straight into a child's imagination. Combining animation and live action, Un Tro is an innovative mix of pop-up book, silent movie and magical stage play with children playing the characters, telling the tales, helping create the artwork and performing all the songs.
Stories include 'Cantre'r Gwaelod' from Wales, 'Y Dywysoges a'r Ddoli Bren' (The Woodcarver and the Princess) from Java island and from France, 'Cawl o Garreg' (Stone Soup). Other myths come from Persia, China, Denmark, Germany, Scotland and South America to name a few.
