Tulip is a contemporary take on the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairytale Thumbelina.

Our story follows Tulip, a tiny child who is born from a flower in an old woman’s garden. The old woman loves Tulip and welcomes her into her home. But she’s worried about letting Tulip go outside—She is so small! What if she gets lost? As Tulip grows older, she is entranced by the world outside. It’s as if every gust of wind is calling come out, come out to play! One night, Tulip decides to sneak out and explore…after all she could be back by morning! But things don’t go quite as planned… The garden is like a forest to tiny Tulip. In her quest to find her way back where she belongs, Tulip meets many creatures, some kinder and more helpful than others,

We wanted to create an adaptation of Thumbelina that allows Tulip to be free from the traditional love-story ending and able to find home in more places than one, while maintaining the original story’s themes of risk, adventure and magic.
