Little Heroes in Crisis is a production based on an original text that tells of the adventures of two siblings who, in their effort to save their city’s river from destruction, come across creatures they never expected to find. A work exploring how society often assigns a “disadvantage” to a person that may actually prove out to be a blessing in disguise, and in this case, the comparative advantage of a child who will save the world.
Little Heroes in Crisis is an educational prοject built on two main thematical axes: the way a child can emotionally handle the climate crisis and the way a child can get acquainted with the rules of eco-theatre – a major trend in theatre that has unofficially started in the 1970s but has only gathered active participants creating companies in Europe and worldwide over the last decades. The show is directed by the children themselves, during the educational programme, confirming thus its key objectives.
