The Happy Lion

A captivating puppet theatre performance about friendship and adventure. The lion is loved by everyone when safely in his cage, but when he escapes to explore the world outside, he discovers that everything is different from home. The performance explores the magical excitement of venturing into the world alone for the first time—a transformation full of wonder, surprises and new experiences. Yet the performance keeps children safe and secure throughout the journey.

Teater Håndholdt specializes in animation and object theatre for the very youngest audiences. Part of the festival Teatermagi in the Autumn Break, which brings performing arts to children and families across the city.
