Come and party! After a successful series in 2014-2015, Anna’s Steen is playing this festive performance again and differently.
Gerda Dendooven tells and makes illustrations in her own way and on a maxi format during the performance. Alain Rinckhout and Bart Embrechts play the roof off.
A sparkling theater performance in which the world of cake, beechnuts, and endless partying is brought to the stage in a rich and musical way. Short stories with lots of fun and humor, each one a gem from the hand of Toon Tellegen with their known philosophical approach and unusual surprising lines of thought.
About… Squirrel and Elephant who, shivering from the cold, invite spring by writing her a letter:
Beste Lente,
Where are you?
We would like you to come here quickly, because we are cold!! You haven't forgotten us, have you?
Sincerely,
Squirrel and Elephant
PS: If you want, you can bring summer along immediately.
About very special questions that Squirrel asks Elephant…
Why do you have a trunk and I a plume tail?
Why can't a bird fly backward?
Why do trees always grow upward and not sideways?
Why does the sky never collapse?
About the longing for a cake that is SO big that you can't look over it… and of course about an endlessly long and big PARTY!
Anna’s Steen, the company around Bart Embrechts, makes theater for young children that often starts from high-quality youth literature. They create theater where the audience leaves the hall happy: accessible, light-footed, surprising… with always that little bit more so that the ordinary becomes extraordinary, often supported by live music. Anna’s Steen has already adapted texts by, among others, Toon Tellegen, Gerda Dendooven, Max Velthuijs, Sylvia Vanden Heede and Ted van Lieshout.
