"The Curious Elephant"
Premiere - 2023 October 28

What do you know about Africa? Well, for example, what's the weather like there? What trees grow? Are there rivers in Africa? What African animals do you know? What does an elephant look like? What are his ears and legs like? And do you know how the elephant warbler came to be?

The play, intended for preschool and elementary age children, was created by the director, artist and stage author Yevgenija Rusakova based on the fairy tale "The Elephant" by the English writer Rudyard Kipling. According to the director, it is wrong that children are called "kids", and adults smile understandingly and forgivingly when they ask questions. After all, every child goes through a unique stage of age when endless questions arise. Who would we be if we didn't ask, if we didn't make mistakes, if we didn't wonder and weren't greedy? book", "Siaip paskas" etc.) author R. Kipling always left space in his work for a curious child who kept asking: "What?", "How?", "Why?". And this is not surprising, after all, the writer himself created fairy tales for a specific child - his beloved son John Kipling. . The main hero Elephant is surrounded by a multitude of jungle inhabitants: a giraffe, an ostrich, a monkey, a python and, of course, a crocodile, which will help the little curious to explain and even demonstrate what crocodiles actually eat for lunch. And most importantly, it will help unravel the real detective story - how and why the once small, button-like elephant's nose suddenly turned into a long proboscis that helps to do many jobs.

Colorful game the puppets of the main characters will also play in the performance. According to J. Rusakova, we are not a puppet theater, but the opportunity to try this stage art genre is one of the ways to expand the acting arsenal and test yourself. By the way, when the dolls began to be produced, it turned out that they took on some character traits of the actors who would control them. Was it planned or did it happen by itself? Children will be able to play. By the way, we will also ask them questions to which the children really know the answers.
