Donkey escapes from an orphanage where the food is horrible and he has to carry stones all day. The nasty twosome Axe and Chop are hot on his heels, so Donkey travels through strange places with even stranger inhabitants. He flies with the help of a Saw Bird and a Helicopter Chair. He puts on a pair of Naughty Shoes, is frightened by Tasman, falls of a cliff and reads a prophecy in the stars. He is sold to a very unpleasant circus where he becomes a living cannonball and has to be sawed in half. His little life seems to be over.
Have his travels made him smart enough to solve his problems?
“Smart as a donkey” is an imaginative play without words but plenty of music. The actors are found objects, broken things, and old stuff.
BIO
TAMTAM worked with writer and painter Wim Hofman, who helped with the story and drew the enchanting landscapes for the short animations that connect the scenes. TAMTAM objektentheater is an internationally touring theatre company that produces visual theatre performances since 1979.
They make image based theatre without text. A very personal and peculiar style of object theatre in which objects, images, sound and music, light, video and inventive stage-technology tell the story.
Gérard Schiphorst and Marije van der Sande are the founders, artists and performers.
With their work, they travelled to theatres and festivals in 23 countries, where they are well-known for their esthetic style, absurd but subtle. They are also active in writing, music, video and visual art. In their workshop in Deventer, they produce theatre and art and receive groups for special performances workshops and master classes.
