The Ugly Duckling is the fifth show by the company A la Sombrita. It showcases all the elements that make this company so unique. This version of Hans Christian Andersen's story tells the tale of a swan accidentally born in the wrong nest. From the beginning, the "ugly" duckling is rejected by the farm community for being different. He is unacceptable to the others simply for being different and is forced into exile by misunderstanding, the cruelty of ignorance, and deliberate malice. But it is almost always worse to remain in the wrong place than to wander lost for a while. At the end of a long journey of hardship, but also of learning, the duckling discovers, upon seeing his reflection in the water, that he too is a beautiful swan. An ending that opens us to the hope that differences are almost always beneficial and create a bright future. Thus, through the most artisanal and complex techniques, we will enjoy this story of personal growth, the story of our endearing and shadowy ugly duckling. Alberto Alfaro.
