Kaka and Spring at Christmas

Kaka and Spring at Christmas (4+)

(a performance for children and their grown-ups)

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the performance “Kaka and Spring,” a special Christmas version has been created, which will be shown at the ISTABA gallery. The premiere of the performance took place right there at ISTABA in 2016, and it was also noticed by the jury of the “Spēlmaņu nakts” awards, later receiving the title of Best Performance for Children or Teenagers of the Year.

In its Christmas version too, the performance continues to develop the themes explored in the book “Kaka and Spring” by Estonian writer Andrus Kivirähk, published by Liels un mazs, revealing important connections in life for children through humor and seeming nonsense.

Director Jānis Znotiņš says: “I create children’s performances to give children a meaningful lesson while fooling around, in which they learn something new. In my opinion, Andrus Kivirähk does this brilliantly in his stories - with provocative nonsense he reaches a deep meaning about the order of the world.”
