Á eigin fótum (meaning "Own Two Feet" in Icelandic) is a musical and theatrical experience without words, featuring live music, for children aged 2 and above and their families. Own Two Feet is an international collaboration between Icelandic Theatre Company Miðnætti (Midnight Theatre Company), who are internationally recognised for their outstanding work in Music and Theatre for Young Audiences, and multi-award-winning British Theatre Company, Lost Watch. Own Two Feet premiered to great critical acclaim in Reykjavik, Iceland in 2017 and has since then toured to sold-out audiences in Greenland, Estonia, and Poland. Inspired by both Bunraku and object manipulation puppetry styles, Own Two Feet is a visually stunning show with a folk and country-inspired musical score. It's main character, Ninna (played by a bunraku style puppet), is an adventurous and mischievous 5-year-old girl who is experiencing life in the countryside for the first time. Puppet animals, including Snati the dog, a cow, and a pig, are created from objects already on the stage and they help Ninna find courage in new experiences. With almost no words in the whole play, along with the universality of its themes, the narrative is perfect for audiences of all nationalities and backgrounds.
