Lejo reisde met zijn grappige en poëtische poppenspel al van New York tot Tokyo en van Moskou tot Madrid. En nu komt hij naar Meppel! Met niets meer dan zijn blote handen en houten ogen heeft Lejo een unieke, frisse stijl van poppentheater gecreëerd. Je vergeet vrijwel direct dat je ‘gewoon’ naar twee handen aan het kijken bent!”Hands up!” is een levendige, woordeloze voorstelling vol muziek. Een luidruchtige hond, twee tapdansers, een koe met een eetstoornis, een heel kinderkoor – inclusief de dirigent – en vele anderen betreden het podium.
Onder de naam ‘Lejo’ maakt Leo Petersen al sinds 1995 voorstellingen en filmpjes met zijn poppen. Wat begon als een studieproject groeide uit tot een act waarmee hij de hele wereld over reist. In Nederland en Vlaanderen is Lejo vooral bekend door de filmpjes die hij maakte voor Sesamstraat.
Na afloop van de voorstelling kan je je eigen Lejo-poppetje maken!
Lejo has already travelled from New York to Tokyo and from Moscow to Madrid with his funny and poetic puppetry. And now he is coming to Munganga!!
With nothing more than his bare hands and wooden eyes, Lejo has created a unique, fresh style of puppet theatre.
You forget almost immediately that you are ‘just’ looking at two hands!
‘Hands up!’ is a lively, wordless performance full of music. A noisy dog, two tap dancers, a cow with an eating disorder, an entire children's choir - including the conductor - and many others takes us into a world of magic and simplicity.
Under the name ‘Lejo’, Leo Petersen has been making performances and films with his puppets since 1995.
What started as a study project grew into an act with which he travels all over the world. In the Netherlands and Flanders, Lejo is best known for the films he made for Sesame Street.
After the performance, you can make your own Lejo puppet!
