THE NUTCRACKER in the Toy Kingdom is our version of the Classic Ballet by E.T.A. Hoffmann, with music by Peter Tchaikovsky, in which Clara is transformed into a doll and taken by her new doll friend the Nutcracker to discover traditional toys from different countries, taking the entire audience with them on a journey through the playful world of toys and traditional games.

In the China adventure, the Nutcracker Doll brought Clara to see the famous Chinese kites and by accident, they discovered tea too.

Founded in 2010, O QUE DE QUE stands out for its research into the integration of theater, music and contemporary dance with the universe of Animated Forms, placing dramaturgy at the center of this artistic intertwining. This approach is enriched by the emphasis on somatic techniques, inspired by the conscious movement methods of Klauss Vianna and physiotherapist Marie Madeleine Béziers, fundamental for scenic research in shows. Over the years, the company has gained international recognition for its audacity and innovation, being present at theater festivals around the world, including countries such as Russia, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, Taiwan, Iran, Kazakhstan and Albania, as well as international awards and the honorable invitation to open an edition of the festival at the Obraztsov Theater, the largest puppet theater in the world, in Moscow. The originality and subversion of the traditional codes of Animated Forms Theater are consistently celebrated by critics, professional colleagues and the public.
