About escaping
and finding your way home…
A dance and
theatre performance for children
between the age of 6 and 9.
Opening the 26th
of September 2007 at Angereds Teater.
The Penguin is a dance and theatre performance about isolation, curiosity and homesickness. With music and movement the dancer Phax Ahamada tells the story of his life, from childhood in Madagascar through the suburbs of Paris to life as an artist in Sweden.
Experience great drama, existential questions and absurd fun when our penguin tries to adapt to new unfamiliar environments. Playful and sad about self-esteem, about music and dance as a universal language, about escaping and finding your way home.
