SORROW AND JOY IN THE LIFE OF A GIRAFFE
Tiago Rodrigues, Thomas Quillardet
A LITTLE GIRL WONDERING AND WANDERING THROUGH THE GREAT BIG WORLD OF ADULTS.
She was tall for her age, so her mother called her “Giraffe.” She is nine years old and full of questions. Some answers can be found in the dictionary, recommended reading according to her mother, but her mother has died. While there are definitions of words such as “joy” and “sorrow,” there are no words to describe the challenges facing her father, an artist struggling to earn a living. With Judy Garland and her teddy bear for company, Giraffe sets off on a journey where she meets a range of colorful characters. She discovers just how weird the adult world is with its obsession with money. A remarkable rendition of the text by Tiago Rodrigues, directed with subtlety and warmth by Thomas Quillardet.
