The Tales of Beatrix Potter

Can you tell an entire story through dance alone? In a world inspired by Beatrix Potter’s work, the narrative is driven by movement, rhythm, and imagery, creating a charming tale where gesture replace dialogue.

A little girl immerses herself in a fantasy realm where the characters from her favourite books come to life. Throughout the house, she discovers hidden stories, told by the animal characters. Together with the girl, they lead us through a series of dance scenes – full of humour, affection, and subtle feeling.

The colourful costumes, inspired by Potter’s illustrations, and the dancers’ lightness make the film feel like a book brought to life. The Tales of Beatrix Potter is a charming spectacle that showcases the power of a child’s imagination and the magic hidden within a timeless, universal story.
