Instituto Ling, in Porto Alegre, will be the stage this Saturday, October 21st, for two performances of the children’s show Frankinh@ – A story in little pieces. Sessions take place at 3pm and 5pm.
The play, for children aged six and over and teenagers, is inspired by the characters and situations in the work Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, a classic between different generations that works as a starting point to talk about childhood, growth, loss, isolation, bullying, friendship, self-esteem, creativity and acceptance of oneself and others. The adaptation, signed by Projeto Gompa, is told through narration, theater, dance, visual arts and an original soundtrack.
In the play, the audience will meet Victor Frankenstein, a strange and lonely young man who, almost by accident, ends up creating someone to keep him company, defying the limits of science and his own age. However, the creature doesn’t turn out exactly as he wanted, and Victor needs to understand that Frankinh@ has his own will and is very different from what he imagined, but that this wasn’t bad, on the contrary, it was a beautiful and fun thing. On stage, the two live great adventures together and begin to transform and accept their differences.
Children’s Month
The presentations are part of the Children’s Month program at Ling. The special agenda for little ones will also feature two sessions of Tóin: Dance for babies, from Muovere Cia de Dança, on October 28th.
The experience, designed for audiences aged zero to three, is made up of two activities: the show itself and a workshop, both based on encouraging receptivity and experience with dance. The montage is inspired by books, images and poetic content by authors such as Gláucia de Souza, Mario Quintana and Eva Furnari, translators of the symbolic and magical universe of early childhood, as well as videos of internet attractions such as Bebê Jeans, Menina Flor, Sapo Xulé , Dance of the Toothpick and Topo Giggio.
