Picture
The Flower Thieves was commissioned by the Midnight Circus, an acrobatic circus troupe whose work breaks boundaries by incorporating the narrative aspects of theater in their work. It premiered in 2001, and was mounted four subsequent times. The show utilized primarily instrumental music and acrobatic acts, including juggling, aerial acts, and slack wire walking. The music included a few songs with words, and the show had no dialog. The story was told with primarily movement and music!

The story was an original fairy tale which followed a young girl, Tatiana, the daughter of the Royal Gardener, who sets off on a journey through a war-torn kingdom to find her missing father and solve the mystery of who has stolen all the flowers and beauty in the land. Along the way she falls in with a shyster, a group of gypsies, and the exiled jester from the royal court. Together they make their way to the court of the King, where the shyster hopes to collect a royal bounty by making the King happy. He fails, but in the process Tatiana is able to bring everyone together in a heeling way, returning flowers and beauty to the Kingdom.
