About the event

Step into the timeless world of Cinderella in a unique event combining music, movement, and reflection. Through four engaging sections, writer and researcher Michelle Anya Anjirbag and the MuMo Creative team explore why this beloved tale resonates across cultures and generations and examines the themes of transformation, inner strength, conflict, and the role of helpers in our lives. 

Each talk is followed by an accessible movement activity, inviting participants to embody the story’s themes through creative expression.

Accompanied by music from Prokofiev’s Cinderella ballet and Massenet’s Cendrillon opera, this immersive experience encourages listening, imagination, connection, and wonder.
