Little HOME festival was a great success with thousands of families accessing 2 days of free theatre, film and workshops, and Kismat Walla was definitely a highlight of the festival. Families were mesmerised by the piece, with an engaging narrative, the calming and magical musical score, it was visually beautiful piece with excellent puppetry and storytelling. To add, your performers were wonderful to work with, really adaptable, professional and a real pleasure to work with.
