How High?

From fairy tale giants, to the tallest buildings. From the highest of high jumps, to growing up. This magical show for 4-9 year olds explores children’s relationship to the world using the concept of height.

Hetty loves to measure things. She measures in feet and hands, in sausages and snails, in butterflies and Barbies. Her Uncle Magnus travels the world in his hot air balloon, searching for the tallest things he can find, sending her leaves from lofty treetops, snow from the highest mountain and stories of giants and trolls.

Join Hetty as she explores the world of height and meets an extraordinary new friend. Where does he come from? Why is he here? Is he the tallest boy in the world? All will be revealed in this charming, moving and very funny musical show.

How High? uses a modern re-working of a traditional Nordic tale with the help of gentle audience interaction to make sense of Hetty’s upside-down life.
How High? is performed in English and a secret troll tongue, with live music and an 8 foot little boy who just wants to have a friend to play with.
