De Kleine IJsbeer
Lars, the little polar bear, lives safely with his father in a world of snow and ice. But when his ice floe breaks off and the sea takes him away, he finds himself in a great, unknown adventure — far from everything familiar to him. What is home, really? A moving, wordless story in a beautiful, handmade fabric world.
In Theater Stof’s visual theatre storytelling, Hans de Beer’s famous picture book comes to life. With spectacular handmade fabric props and puppets, Lars travels past strange green plants, extraordinary animals, and unfamiliar sounds. His adventure is about friendship, feeling at home, daring to embrace the unknown, and the power of nature — accessible to every child, regardless of language or background.
Theater Stof creates visual and wordless theater for children aged 1 to 8. Mirthe van der Meulen and Sarah Strassburger use their creative and pedagogical backgrounds to create the performances. By hand, they create colorful fabric sets and puppets, full of imagination and detail.
