How the grownups left and what happened next 8+

Cluck, cluck, cluck…
It all seems very real.
The village. The piles of hay. The fire and the people.
As if we were really in the Middle Ages.
It is night time. The children are getting ready for bed.
Somewhere in front there’s a strange man telling his story.
He’s talking about a group of really loving parents who love their children very, very much.

But something strange is going on.
The birds are leaving their nests unattended, and a lonely bear cub is scavenging the village.
And one day, the parents decide to leave. Without warning, just like that.
And so they pile their carts with furniture, slightly ashamed somehow, but determined.
And off they go, hobbling alongside their wobbly carts.
Cluck, cluck, cluck…
Sssh.

With a sense of humour and an originality that match those of Jheronimus Bosch, Jetse Batelaan shows us what happens when the love between parents and their offspring dies. A story that was written by Simon van der Geest, winner of the Gouden Griffel children’s book award, featuring live music and a group of children from the audience who are directed on the spot. A family show like you’ve never seen before.
