The Elephant and the Drummer
Presented by Sonia Sabri Company
Elnaz the elephant longs to dance. She watches her slender and agile friends, the birds, the fish and the gazelle, while they happily leap and twirl. But Elnaz feels too big and heavy to join in. Ever since losing her herd, Elnaz has never felt like she fitted in.
One day, her dear friend Dholli returns after a long, adventurous journey and brings with her a whole host of interesting objects from her travels. One of them is a small, colourful drum…
Join Elnaz the Elephant and Dholli the Drummer on their individual journeys of self-discovery, as they explore themes of perception and body positivity. Watch as our dynamic duo are brought together by their shared love of dance and music.
”A fantastic interactive kids show which had primary school children entertained from start to finish. The colourful mask and costumes are a highlight of the piece, along with the engaging storyline.
