We follow a hapless adventurer as he attempts to get to New York by boat, a journey that is beset by calamities, and on which he meets a variety of characters such as an elusive zebra-striped beast and a sinister submarine. The work is based on four of Starling's previous pieces -- each of which involve building, demolishing and sailing in boats -- and which are here combined into a single slapstick narrative complete with a puppet version of the artist. The play is 25 minutes long, and is suitable for children of 3 years and up -- and adults. Admission for children under 16 is free. Adults accompanying children are admitted free (other adults pay standard Charlottenborg admission.)
No booking is required.
Performances are at 14.00 every Sunday afternoon
during the course of the exhibition. (Not including 25
December and 1 January, and note that on Sunday
22 January the performance is at 17.00.)
