Handa’s Surprise

Saturday 7 October, 1pm & 3pm

Handa’s Surprise

Travel to Kenya and follow in Handa’s footsteps as she journeys to see her best friend Akeyo in the next village. Handa is taking 7 delicious fruits as a surprise, but 7 different animals have 7 very different ideas. Could you resist the sweet-smelling guava? How about a ripe red mango or a tangy purple passion fruit?

A blend of physical performance, puppetry, live music and song combine to create an intimate, magical production with audience participation. Come and share in the magical tangerine surprise!

‘Vibrant performers… Singing and stomping in Swahili rhythms.’ Time Out

‘A short, sunshiny little show with a delicious citrus finish.’ Critics’ Choice Time Out

Based on the book by Eileen Brown, published by Walker Books Ltd.

This event takes place at Canada Water Culture Space.
