In a region of West Africa, plagued by a persistent drought, stands a big, ancient baobab tree. One day, the ancient baobab brings forth an egg and from this egg, a little boy is born. The people in the village discover that he is the only one who can free the source of water. Then, a quest begins. Only the courage of a child might change the history of the world. In this sunny environment where shade provides a soothing break, the African percussion turns into animals, while masks and puppets become genies or witches!  "A little gem of international theatre" - New York Theater Guide 

“Baobab is a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity, bringing together music, puppetry, and storytelling in a poetic performance that transcends borders and language barriers.” - Mary Rose Lloyd, New 42 Artistic Director
