Escaping on a Kindertransport train, one small Czech-Jewish girl embarks on a mighty adventure.
Crossing between the past and present, Babi travels across Europe; from bon bons in Germany to the smell of the sea in Margate, she discovers how tiny acts of kindness can change the course of a person’s life.
Joyful, moving and poignant, Kinder features beautiful table top puppetry and cinematic shadow play. Inviting you to take a seat inside an immersive set, the story unfolds through a series of playful hatches and openings.
Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and Enterprise Arts Trust.
Run time – 55 minutes.
