The adventures of little Nsangi — a girl who doesn’t listen to her mother and is tricked by a mischievous chimpanzee — come to life in a vibrant, high-energy show for children aged 3 to 10. The story unfolds in Romanian, English and Luganda, remaining entirely accessible and engaging for every child in the audience.
The show opens with an interactive moment in which Dada Love invites the children to name the seven continents of the world, setting the stage for an unexpected journey. Then comes the spectacular entrance of actress Shama Leah, arrived all the way from Africa, who joins Andrada Grosu in bringing to life a colourful cast of characters: little Nsangi, the Witch, the Chimpanzee and more.
Along the way, children discover surprising similarities with beloved stories from their own tradition — echoes of “The Wolf and the Three Kids” and “Little Red Riding Hood” — a joyful reminder that across continents, the wisdom of folk tales and the wonder of childhood are truly universal.
With: Andrada Grosu & Shama Leah | Choreography & costumes: Sharom Bukirwa | Stage direction: Bogdan Sărătean | Running time: 35 minutes
