PREMIERE: Griffebo – Baby Opera

Join us in the magical world of griffins!

What if your child had wings and could fly? What if the whole family or kindergarten could be transformed into a flock of mythical creatures?

Griffebo is a sensual and playful theatre experience where imagination, movement and wonder are at the centre. Here, young and old are invited into the secret world of the griffins, a place where anything can happen.

A griffin is a mythical creature, a cross between a lion and an eagle. For thousands of years, the griffin has appeared in myths and stories all over the world, often as a guardian of something precious. For the artists behind the show, a griffin is a celebration of imagination and mystery, symbolizing vigilance, community, strength, beauty and wonder.

In this performance, the audience first gets to meet the griffins and experience their magical universe up close. Then it's the children's turn! With wings and a tail, they themselves become griffin cubs, ready to explore, fly and dance. There is also room for some adults to join in the transformation - here you can let your imagination run wild.

Griffebo is a unique experience for kindergarten-age children and their adults and is a performance where the audience not only watches, but also participates.
