In a small, beautiful backyard, where a nice old couple live together with their animals, life quietly goes on at the rhythm of nature. Now… imagine a turnip growing in this backyard.
But not just any turnip! A GIANT TURNIP!! So big that no one can pull it out. What to do?… That’s what we’re going to discover in this simple, visual story that, besides showing us the peace and tranquillity of the day-to-day life of those who live on and for the land, reminds us that even the smallest and weakest creatures can make… a GIANT difference!

Production Partículas Elementares
Founded in 2003, the Portuguese puppet theatre company’s main goal is to combine different artistic expressions such as music, poetry, sculpture, painting, and many other crafts that merge into scenes of pure magic, playing an educational role.
With its own production, Partículas Elementares, today is a reference in the field, with a wide audience that includes children and adults.
