Wolke (8+)
Anne van der Steen |
The story of a boy who has been living on a rooftop ever since his dad disappeared. He has been waiting for his dad to return up there. It’s clear to Wolke: his dad is a hero and he is out on an adventure; he is flying among the clouds, he is working for world peace, feeding the mouths of the poor BUT he could come back any minute now...
Wolke’s live floats by, one day after another, until suddenly the Birthday Girl appears right beside him, and refuses to leave. Today, and tomorrow, and the day after, is her birthday. The Birthday Girl doesn’t understand that Wolke is waiting for his dad. Dads are always too busy doing important things. The credit crunch, the lady who lives next door, paying alimony. Dads do not want to be found!
A show about dealing with absence and with not being missed.
