The Little Flower King by Květa Pacovská is the text which has brought together two historic companies, the Balletto di Roma and Teatro Gioco Vita.
This project sets out to explore the merging of three disciplines: dance, shadow and music aimed at a young audience.


The Little Flower King is a tale. As in all tales, we have the classic “Once upon a time” and the ever present “King”, but in this case he is small and curious, lives all on his own, loves his garden and fills his pockets with tulip bulbs. The Little Flower King is also about two youngsters who live opposite each other. So close and yet so far apart that they’ve never exchanged glances. The Little Flower King is a show where the theme of the search for happiness is treated lightly and poetically, thanks to a simple and straightforward plot and a lively and imaginative narrative. With few important words, the story comes to life on stage thanks to a rich score which enhances the beautiful drawings by Teatro Gioco Vita, based on the splendid illustrations by Květa Pacovská and the expressive movements of the two dancer-actors from the Balletto di Roma, created with great originality by the choreographer Valerio Longo.
