The theater of narration blends with the theater of images in this adaptation of one of the classics perhaps best known and loved by young audiences. The stage will become a shifting place where reality gives way to fantasy and imagination.

Few scenic elements will depict the real places of 19th-century London with all its contradictions, only to transform and reveal all their secrets and potential.

The costumes, just like the sets, will serve to represent the two worlds: that of bourgeois London and chimney sweeps, and that of the fantastic spirits that inhabit Scrooge's dreams.

Two actors, using the techniques of image theater, will carry the story forward, alternating between humorous situations and moments of reflection, adventurous scenes and dramatic ones, leading to the most beautiful epilogue ever: change is possible; you just have to want it!
