Chick with a Trick is a performance with puppets for children and family audiences. It tells a story about a Hen who lays a bonbon instead of an egg. Fallen in deep panic, the Hen goes to look for advice and support to her friend the Duck, to the Doctor and to the King, but obsessed by their own troubles, they do not pay attention to her 'problem'. At the end, inspired by the beautiful sunny day and by the kids, the Hen convinces herself that there is nothing wrong if one does something unusual and different, specially if this way one brings joy to somebody, for instance to the kids...

This fall Chick with a Trick tours to Boston, New York, Baltimore, and Washington DC where it will represent Bulgaria at the Kids Euro Festival, a festival celebrating the greatest in European theatre for families!
