Kantjil and the Tiger

A grandmother with a last wish. Her brave granddaughter Indra. And the clever little dwarf Kantjil, who is not big but has the black belt. Travel with Indra and Kantjil on their quest for the past: epic, vulnerable, exciting, confrontational and with a good dose of Indian humor. A performance by the Toneelmakerij, Oorkaan and Studio Figur.

Indra's grandmother Billy is ill. In her small living room, the whole family waits to say goodbye to her. But then Grandma turns out to have a last wish that turns everything upside down. Young Indra rushes to her aid and before she knows it, she tumbles into a hidden history.

Indra meets sidekick Kantjil, a magical Javanese dwarf with the black belt. Together they lay the puzzle pieces of the past. Can you be too old to give a place to the past? Or too young for your own family's history?

The Toneelmakerij

Every year, de Toneelmakerij creates a large hall production for the whole family in cooperation with another (music) theater company. After the success of Giselle, 1000+1 night, As You Like It, Hans en Griet and De Toverfluit, this fall we are collaborating with the entire Oorkaan Ensemble and five top actors. A compelling musical theater performance for everyone aged eight and up.

Jury report on Silver Cricket winner 1000+1 night (large venue performance 2023) "With its dynamic characters, fast-paced changes and sharp language, the performance manages to provide an experience where storytelling puts you in another universe while bringing you closer to yourself. Thanks in part to the amazing cast and crew, this loving fairy tale comes full circle and hits you right in the heart."

Please note, this performance is suitable for anyone 8 years old and older. We want every visitor - including the little ones - to leave our theater with a positive experience.
