Poetry Theatre: De Parapluvogel (Dutch)

Poëtisch poppentheater; Vanaf 4 jaar

Waar moet de roze parapluvogel Sumba heen als haar boom in het regenwoud is omgezaagd? Na enige omzwervingen belandt zij op een eiland. Daar gaat zij op zoek naar een nieuw onderkomen. Sumba ontmoet er onder anderen Wasco de Wasbeer, een oude bekende in Kooman's Poppentheater. Al meer dan vijftig jaar speelt dit gezelschap voorstellingen voor jong en oud. Net als oprichter Frank Kooman creëert zijn zoon Arjan poëtisch poppentheater, met een grote rol voor muziek - van Joost Kooman.
