Unpaired socks are one of those puzzles of everyday life that no one knows how to fully solve. So we are coming to help you. We have the culprit: the hole under the washing machine! It is from there that the Socks go out into the world. It is through this route that they end up on ships, casting for films, becoming detectives and even royal advisors. No wonder that, since they have such opportunities, they choose passionate adventures over spending time in our cramped shoes.
The bestselling short stories written by Justyna Bednarek, beloved by children and parents alike, are full of warm absurdity about Socks. The author gave us details of the lives that lost pieces of clothing can lead. It made us remember how extraordinary and necessary imagination is – imagination that is born in its most beautiful form when parents and children are together.
Although, after all, socks get lost in every home, the story of loss may sound different in each home. After all, the potential of home storytelling is limitless, and shared family fantasizing is invaluable for building unfettered bonds and getting to know each other. When children manage to hold the attention of their parents, even mundane objects can become the perfect setting for games, play, and hastily concocted stories.
The performance ‘Incredible Adventures of Socks’ is based on a series of books by Justyna Bednarek entitled ‘The New Adventures of the Ten Socks’.
