Description
Look mum!! Dancing Hippos!
HIPPOS is a street theatre show that challenges the appearances and stereotypes imposed by society. Three hippos dance, live and interact with people, embarking on a physical journey that could be a fable, a metaphor, or simply a chance for all audiences to meet themselves and be a little more alone, but in company. Are they humans disguised as hippos, or hippos searching for themselves?
Through dance, humour and visual theatre, HIPPOS invites us to reflect on humanity, animality and respect for difference.
