Dadunk From Denmark
Clumsy Hans
for all ages
Duration: 50 minutes
Saturday 28 June
The Bash and the Crash Fairytale.
In December '04 DaDunk premiered their now famous Stomp style interpretation of the fairytale Clumsy Hans by the famous Danish author Hans Christian Andersen in Tivoli Copenhagen. Since then DaDunk has been touring Denmark and Istanbul, Turkey.
Clumsy Hans is a hilarious musical interpretation of the fairytale Where the two smug brothers, in spite of their fantastic equilibristic feats and behaviour, can't win the beautiful princess' heart, but... Clumsy Hans can!
Hans is neither smart nor cool, but he has kept his imagination and can still be carried away. Not only does he win the rapping princess, but also half of the kingdom and that is also worth having...

![1900 [Novecento]](imgs08/novo.jpg) |
Ultima Thule Belgium
1900 [Novecento]
for 12+ years
Duration: 60 minutes
Saturday 5 July
This beautiful adaptation of the Italian novella, Novecento, tells the story of a unique man who never sets foot on dry land.
On the first of January 1900, a baby boy was found abandoned on the Virginian, a transatlantic ship. 1900, named after the year he was born, is a true orphan who knows nothing about his parents or past.
At a young age, he becomes a piano prodigy and helps to create the new era of jazz.
This gentle, funny, touching and profound play uses a small cast, puppets and a minimal set to convey the remarkable life of a man who experiences the outside world from his ever moving sanctuary.
A timeless ageless story of friendship, dignity and above all hope, that cannot fail to inspire. Edinburgh Guide
