A wordless and truly veritable urban fantasy.
One New Year’s Eve a poor girl walks bare foot in the snowy streets to sell matches. Nobody wants to buy them. To warm herself she lightens the matches, one by one. In the fire beautiful sights of food and happy families appear, but they vanish as soon as the light go out. In the light of the very last match she sees her dead grandmother. The girl utters a wish to leave this world and come with her into the light.
In Rikard Lekander’s adaptation for Backa Teater we meet the famous girl of HC Andersen in a visually suggestive untried format: Theatre meets melodramatic silent movie. A wordless and truly veritable urban fantasy.
