What’s believed to be the world’s only Alpine pantomime is back in the run-up to Christmas, bringing a dose of festive magic to the picturesque mountain village of Le Châble in Verbier, Switzerland.
Presented by the Verbier Amateur Dramatics Association (VADA), this unique performance of Sleeping Beauty promises an unforgettable experience for all ages.
Set in the whimsical land of Bagnaland, the pantomime follows a delightful cast of characters: a beautiful princess, a charming prince, a hilariously outrageous King and Queen, talking pussycats, glamorous fairies, and even a gaggle of dancing zombies — all with an unexpected Swedish twist.
Audiences can expect a lively show packed with pantomime traditions: slapstick comedy, corny jokes, sing-a-longs, and, of course, lots of audience participation. And in true Alpine style, cheese takes centre stage in the story, adding a dash of local flavour to the enchanting plot.
Sleeping Beauty is on from 13 – 15 December 2024 and tickets are priced from 30 CHF / £26 for adults and 15 CHF / £13 for children.
