Little Amal: The walk
The Walk is a travelling art festival with the puppet of a young refugee girl at its heart. Little Amal brings local artists and communities together in search of her mother.
Another opportunity to meet Little Amal, a 3.5 metre-tall puppet of a young 9-year-old refugee girl, created to represent all displaced children. She is travelling over 8000km, from Turkey, through Europe, ending in the UK.
The Walk is a unique and ambitious travelling art festival organised by Good Chance Theatre in collaboration with Handspring Puppet Company, that brings artists, cultural institutions and community groups together in the countries Little Amal visits. Her message is 鈥淒on鈥檛 forget about us鈥. But at a time when the world is still fighting the Covid-19 pandemic and when anti-immigrant sentiment is present in certain countries, The Walk doesn鈥檛 come without its challenges.
Join Cagil Kasapoglu as she meets the people involved, including Artistic Director Amir Nizar Zuabi and General Manager Sarah Loader, who travel with Little Amal across borders and seas.
Presented by Cagil Kasapoglu and produced by Rebecca Armstrong for the 成人快手 World Service.
