Billy’s father is a famous gangster. But he worries about his son:
‘I wonder if you can become a good gangster, Billy. You’re too kind.’
So, he gives him an old unloaded pistol, a belt and a hat so that he can test his ability to scare those he meets on his way.
Will Billy, with the help of the audience, succeed in his mission while THE FOX is lurking around?
This English adaptation of the famous children’s book by Catharina Valckx ‘PAWS UP!’ is a poetic, interactive and funny show. It is performed in French and English and is suitable for an audience who doesn’t speak any French!
After ‘Jackie and the Giant’ and ‘Jackie and the Horrible Family’ by David Fisher, the Koalako Company adapts ‘Paws up!’ by Catharina Valckx, an essential children’s album which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2020.
Duration 55min followed by Q&A with the performers.
Detailed Features
Written by Catharina Valckx – adapted by Jonathan Perrein
