Mini festival around a stranded circus family.
Four circus kids take over the theatre! In the auditorium, they play three musical gems about their lives; about growing up in a peculiar family and adapting to a new environment. Meanwhile, in the foyer, you can discover the circus artist in yourself. In the arena and on the tightrope, you will develop your own tricks.
The story
Bekka, Reed, Scarf and Loon are new in class. From today, everything will be different for them. They have to go to school, among the 'normal children', and they are not used to that. They live in their parents' circus, travelling from town to town and having the most wonderful adventures. But the circus hasn't been doing well for a while. And now something has happened. The ticket booth has caught fire and the elephant has escaped. No one knows why. The circus grounds are under investigation and the children have to leave, for school. What happened at the circus? Do they dare to tell? And... what is it like just to adapt to a new environment?
Three versions
The children end up in different classes, each telling completely different versions of their experiences from their own perception:
13:30 - The story of Bekka: Where's the elephant (4+)
In this part, Bekka takes you through her her magical friendship with the elephant.
14:40 - The story of Reed: What did I hear last night?(6+)
As a circus child, Riet speaks all the languages of the world.
15:50 - The story of Scarf and Loon: Who did it?(8+)
In their story, Scarf and Loon do their best to be as normal as possible.
Visit the whole story for the price of one
The parts can be seen separately. Those who want to discover the whole story and find out exactly what happened in the circus can visit them back-to-back for the price of one!
You are in the middle of the show
The audience sits in the stands but also behind school tables on the floor, among the players. They play, sing and juggle right in front of you. Between each part there is a short break where the audience can change. Younger children can also continue playing in the foyer while older siblings in the auditorium follow a different story.
