Zeraffa Giraffa, Little Angel Theatre

If you thought the walk to school was bad, get ready for the journey of a lifetime as a young giraffe travels to Paris.

Zeraffa is a gift from the Pasha of Egypt to the King of France. The only problem? Paris is very far away. Fortunately, Zeraffa has some help from a young boy named Atir. The pair journey up the Nile, past the pyramids and sphinx until they reach a distant land, where everything is different – especially Zeraffa: no one in France has ever seen a giraffe before.

Based on the award-winning book by Dianne Hofmeyr, which, in turn, is based on the astonishing true tale of a real life giraffe, Zeraffa Giraffa follows a pair of unlikely friends on an inspirational trip across deserts and stormy seas. Adapted with beautiful, hand-made puppets and an original musical score, Zeraffa's heartwarming tale of acceptance has been brought to life at the Little Angel Theatre this September.
