About this event
The Millibo is thrilled to welcome back the talented, acclaimed, master divisor Thaddeus Phillips! A surprising hybrid of theatre and film that is at once highly theatrical and wonderfully cinematic. Paris, 1925. In a tiny toy shop inside Montparnasse train station, film and special effects pioneer Georges Méliès, now forgotten, faces eviction. A toy comes to life. Using hidden cameras, a movie screen, miniatures and magic, Georges creates an epic cinematic universe & voyage that leads to his rediscovery. Theatrical wizard Thaddeus Phillips (‘could have been a great silent-movie comedian’- New York Times) and 80 eclectic vintage toys star in this visually stunning tour de force. Around The World in 80 Toys is a wild theatrical adventure for ages 8 and up.
