Stekeblind (3+)
4hoog |
It all starts with a letter. From the Hedgehog to the Mole. He writes about how he wants to be with her. And talk about things together. Drink tea by the window together. Gaze across the field and count sheep together. And sleep in a four-poster bed together. But he is prickly. She is blind and has no voice. Disappointment and clumsy awkwardness threaten to destroy their idyll. But in the end, their longing to be together conquers.
4Hoog’s subdued play Stekeblind [Blind as a bat] is a love story, a Romeo and Juliet for toddlers. Something this Ghent-based company can be entrusted with, as they make pioneering, accessible plays for very young audiences. Code words: imagination, recognition, poetry, humour.
