# BALLO ARTHUR PITA # THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL ## Directed & choreographed by Arthur Pita Enter the enchanting world of The Little Match Girl this Christmas in the uniquely stunning setting of Wilton’s Music Hall. On a snow-covered Christmas Eve in an imaginary Italian town, a young girl journeys through the streets with just one final match to keep her warm. Along the way she encounters moments of humanity and hardship in a moving winter tale of hope, compassion and imagination. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved classic, Arthur Pita’s award-winning production combines dance, song and Frank Moon’s beautifully evocative live music into a festive theatrical experience filled with heart, humour and seasonal wonder in one of London’s most atmospheric settings. Tender, funny and deeply moving, The Little Match Girl is a spellbinding Christmas story for all ages. ‘Adults should beg, borrow or steal a child to take to this funny and moving production. Or simply take themselves’ ★★★★ The Guardian
