Three penguins living on an ice floe in the cold Antarctic and constantly quarreling with each other, the White Dove brings the message: God is tired of the eternal hostility of people and animals and decided to bring down a flood to the earth. Before the penguins, the question arises: how to penetrate the ark, having two tickets for three ...
In 2006, one of the German publishing houses invited theaters to create performances for children on a religious theme. German actor, director and playwright Ulrich Hub turned to the plot of the Flood. On its basis, the playwright created a parable of friendship, love of neighbor, faith and unbelief, which immediately won recognition and won the prize as Germany's best play. However, her problems turned out to be so much wider than the framework of the children's play that the play "The Ark of the Eight" with great success put "adult" theaters in Europe and Russia.
Young artists of the theater "Workshop" play a dynamic, audacious and ridiculous performance, in which, without edification and moralizing, they cheerfully and unobtrusively seek answers to questions that concern many.
The performance is addressed to the youth audience.
Review
Penguins of a friend in trouble will not be abandoned.
One for all and all for one!
The white dove brought them an invitation to the ship.
But what should they do, if there are three of them, and on the Noah's Ark only two places for penguins?
They will hide the third in a suitcase and secretly carry it with them. Otherwise, he will not survive such a disaster as a worldwide flood. Do not condemn him to certain death!
But to deceive is also not good.
They argue to exhaustion. They say simply and heartily about God, about destiny, about mutual assistance and peace on earth.
Penguins amusingly sing and dance remarkably. All together, amicably and cheerfully.
Will they be happy again? They are even tired of thinking only about salvation all the time.
A wise performance for children and their parents about the value of life and good deeds.
"A true friend will help a friend, his misfortune does not frighten him. He will give his heart, and love - in the way a star. "
