Set around the warmth of a campfire yet steeped in gothic folklore, Little Elves reinterprets the
original miracle of St. Nicholas by centering three young Asian women whose act of self-defence is
rewritten as legend. Rather than a simple tale of good and evil, the musical examines who gets to
tell history, whose lives are deemed worthy of saving, and how myth can be used to justify injustice.

Through its richly textured score—drawing from folk, country, and contemporary pop influences—
and its evocative visual world of eerie puppets and folklore-inspired design, Little Elves explores
themes of justice, vengeance, systemic racism, abolition, faith, and the enduring legacy of anti-Asian
discrimination in Turtle Island (North America). Both thrilling and deeply moving, it invites
audiences to question the myths we inherit and the truths we choose to believe.
