I Can! (2-5 years)

Jag Kan! / I Can! is a body-poetic theater adventure for the youngest, about the happiness of coping. About how hard it can be to learn new things and how proud you become when you suddenly know what you couldn’t do before. The show wants to inspire self-confidence and self-esteem, the courage to try again when things go wrong and encourage creative problem solving.

Through play, humour and movement, we portray the trials and tribulations and triumphs common to the 3-year-old and the 63-year-old: I Can!

I Can! is a solo performance in a small format that can be performed at the preschool, on stage, in other venues or outdoors.
