Kilkenny Arts Festival presents The Land of a Hundred Little Hills, a children's theatre show coming to Market Cross Shopping Centre on Friday, August 15 and Saturday, August 16. There will be two showings on both days, the first at 11am ad the second at 1pm.
Inspired by Patrick Kavanagh’s A Christmas Childhood poem, this is a touching story about a young boy whose life was full of wonder, fantastical adventures with his friends, and a deep connection with nature and the world around him. However, after growing up moving away from home, he somehow lost his wonder along the way.
Can his childhood book of memories help him to rediscover it? Can he reconnect with the magic of childhood once again?
Using a combination of live music, puppetry and animation The Land of a Hundred Little Hills is a joyful, moving, and action-packed musical tale.
Presented by Ceol Connected Children's Theatre group, this unique, authentic gig theatre experience for children ages 6+ that vividly and intimately celebrates the wonder of childhood; exploring how the ordinary can become extraordinary in the eyes of a child.
The Land of a Hundred Little Hills was commissioned in 2022 by the Patrick Kavanagh Centre and Monaghan County Council, it returns to Kilkenny Arts Festival 2025. Tickets are now on sale at kilkennyarts.ie
