The Happy Lion (2 to 5 years)

Everyone in town loves the lion when he sits there in his cage so well — but when he gets out one day to look around among all his friends, everything looks completely different...

The Happy Lion is a vision of friendship and the wonder of going out into the world alone for the first time — the great upheaval when you experience that everything outside is different than at home. The performance awakens, amazes and surprises, but at the same time holds the children safely in their hands.

Den Glad Løve is created by Teater Håndholdt in collaboration with international Passepartout Theatre Production based on the story of the same name from 1954. Theatre Handheld is known for creating performing arts based on animation and object theatre for the youngest audience.
