Dramaturge

Herman the pot-bellied pig doesn't like competitions. He thinks that's a hassle. The chickens cluck the loudest every morning to see who is the first, the best, the fastest. One day Herman has had enough. He'll show them who's the fastest. All the animals encourage him. But is that really that important, winning or losing?

“Soon Lennox longed to become brave. And preferably as quickly as possible. He was ready for that now. Fortunately, for a boy who wasn't yet brave, Lennox looked pretty cool.” A musical story about courage, friendship, and the discovery that your world becomes bigger when you know more.

Lennox

'A dazzling total work of art' and 'sparkling and imaginative music theatre'. This is how the new dance opera How Anansi liberated the stories of the world was received at its world premiere in 2021. This season, the National Ballet and the National Opera are therefore once again highlighting the story about the resourceful fairytale spider Anansi with a lot of passion, verve and humor.
