Santa Meets the Ice Dragon premiered in Antwerp in December 2003.
Here's what the Belgian press had to say:
"A romantic Christmas story for children, also enjoyed by their parents....wonderfully old fashioned"
"Santa is almost a total spectacle: dance, music, drama, narrative. But it isn't a musical, nor is it a play or a ballet. It is everything together. It is a symphonic Christmas story. I won't tell you anymore, otherwise I will reveal too much. It is so good, you must go and see it!"
" A wonderfully old fashioned... Christmas story: it does you good to know that this is still possible in these confused times.
Den Brabo 12 December 2003
"Everything about this production is stunning....everything is a perfect picture"
"a master storyteller...gives you the feeling that you are cuddling up close to grandma or grandpa"
De Morgen 22 December 2003
"an unparalleled Christmas tale for the whole family"
"The symphonic experiment of In the Wings became a sparkling family show.....The mixture of music, theatre, dance and classic tale seems like a daring exploit on paper, but it works."
" A timeless Christmas tale, situated somewhere between Hans Christian Andersen and Disney."
Focus Knack 7 January 2004
"The language of Santa is heart-warming and for everyone to hear"
De Stern 6 December 2003
"The concept of Santa is quite new: it is not a ballet, nor a musical, nor a symphonic concert: it is all of those!"
