Griffin Abode – Baby Opera

A griffin is a mythical creature, a cross between a lion and an eagle. As a hybrid between a land-bound animal and one that can fly, it is something completely out of the ordinary.

Griffins appear in various paintings, sculptures and myths across many cultures, with roots stretching back thousands of years. For us, the griffin is a tribute to fantasy and mystery, and symbolizes vigilance, unity, strength, beauty and wonder. In Griffebo /Griffin Abode, the audience is invited into the world of griffins, where they get to know these creatures that guard something precious, fly, dance and sing.

The performance is followed by an interactive part, where children can choose to participate as "griffin cubs", donning wings and tails and joining in the flight, dance and song. Adults are also invited to take part in the transformation. Here the audience can experience being something other than human for a while; who are you then? What is it like to be part of a flock of magical creatures? How does it feel to soar into the sky? Welcome to the magical world of griffins!
