Safir the human child and Frost-Ros the horse invite us to their wonderful garden and the marvellous games they play there. Together with Safir, we explore the splendour of the flowers and the fidelity of the trees, we smell the soil and reach for the stars. And side by side with Safir’s best friend Frost-Ros, we can sense her wisdom and power.
The performance delves into the relationship between humans, animals and nature. It invites children to wonder at and love nature – and themselves and all of us as part of it.
