VOYAGE TO CRETE
The magic island decided to call you and share her secret with you
Theseus and the ten children sail from Athens to Crete with the black sails up. Mina
performs the journey with the children. Cherry will move a sheet together with other
helpers from the audience to represent the brave sea. The children enter blind
folded. Each of them will have a guide to help them get out of this island.
The story will be recorded. The day of the performance, we can have different
groups in charge of different senses and we can invite them to enter the Aula Magna
in three large groups so we have three presentations per classroom.
