What happens if you never dare to say what you think?
And how do you find a new father when your real father has moved?
Can you meet your grandfather even though he is dead?
What happens if your ears just start growing?
And what is it that is GREATEST OF ALL?
In our new show, we address another handful of stories by Kim Fupz Aakeson: About children with difficult thoughts, about strange things that happen – and then always with something that resolves itself in the end.
Five relevant and important stories with love as the common thread. Performed in a play with the forms of narration and composed with country inspirations, music, magic and humor.
Cast: Maja Skovhus Rehøj, Bastian Popp, Dirck Backer
“Along the way, Teater Patrasket’s tragicomic approach to the difficult thoughts and events creates a solid foundation for the belief in what is greatest of all. What binds people together. Love – and children’s theatre of the very best kind.” Teateravisen
