Music Theatre for kids for the Gergiev Festival Rotterdam | 2011 previous project | next project
Eva Crutzen as 'Soeraki'
The Gergiev Festival invests in its audience, so educational projects are important.
In 2011 Sjoerd Kuyper (text) and I made 'Soeraki, heroine of the sea' for kids of 6-8 years.
Soeraki is a ten-year old girl. Not an ordinary girl, but a mermaid!
She lives in a tropical paradise where everything is beautiful:
the fish, the coral, even the old crab!
But often she's bored. It's all very nice but nothing's exciting.
Except for Bob, the merboy...
But he won't even look at her, says 'Hi' and 'Bye' and that's it. To get his attention she decides to get him
the most beautiful thing on earth and dives deep into the sea, a sea full of monsters...
