ABOUT

The Clock Girl is a poetic circus opera for all ages, where a timeless fairytale meets contemporary themes. Inspired by The Little Match Girl, it tells of a child’s fragile imagination set against the harsh reality of child labor, then and now. Performed by soprano and circus artist Liza Dedapper, the story unfolds through live singing, acrobatics, and magical imagery.

This 25-minute mini-opera, with libretto by Mien Bogaert and music by Jeroen De Brauwer, is a brand-new creation performed entirely on a small trailer transformed into a miniature theatre. Conceived as a street opera for children, The Clock Girl brings opera into the open air, offering an unforgettable experience to audiences who may never have encountered it before.
