Frankenstein by baby
2025
Frankenstein by baby is a playful baby performance based on the sci-fi novel by Mary Shelley. In Grus Grus Theater's version your child plays one of the main characters. In addition to a very legendary monster, the performance includes words and movements that relate to body, life, birth, care, creation and responsibility. Welcome into the babies' very own laboratory for a newborn interpretation of a story that has captured generations for over two hundred years.
The performance focuses on the age group 0-2 and has been developed with an effort to keep in parallel both a children’s perspective and an adult's perspective.
