JUST HERE
‘Just Here’ is a unique piece of puppetry theatre about a little someone called Kodu, who finds herself in an unfamiliar place, far from home. Although she is unwell and unable to leave her bed, with a little magic and the power of her own imagination, she goes on an enchanting adventure. ‘Just Here’ is created for 1-3 year olds, and meets this special audience eye-to-eye, mind-to-mind. ‘Just Here’ is directed by Handspring puppeteer Gabriel Marchand, featuring Asanda Rilityana and Roshina Ratnam, with handmade instruments and original music by Pedro Espi-Sanchis (Pedro the Music Man).
‘Just Here’ was created with the support of ASSITEJ SA and the South African National Arts Council.
