A magical story inspired by a true event about the most human of birds – penguins.

Once upon a time, there was a world, freezing and pure. And there was once a story. A story of persistence, love, and hope. The penguin with a red hat is different yet the same as all the others. He swims in the ocean, catches fish, plays, builds his nest, dreams, longs, loves. One day, however, he discovers that other penguins can do something that he cannot. How will his journey for his dream end? Will he give up or will he continue despite insurmountable obstacles? And what about nature? Will the stars be on his side?

A puppet performance on the edge of fiction and reality, which both fairy-tale-like and factually maps the colony of little penguins and shows that the world is diverse and everyone should have their place in it.

Inspired by the story of penguins at the Zoo in New York and the film March of the Penguins.

The performance is presented with seating on the stage of the Grand Hall with a limited number of seats without assigned seating.

Suitable for children aged 5 and older.
Duration of the performance is 50 minutes.
