About the performance
An elephant stands on the square. His name is Tembo.
Inside his belly lives a girl with a head full of stories.
Those who dare may come inside — but where you’ll end up, no one knows.
You might slip beneath a mermaid’s tail, or tumble headfirst into a molehill.
Every 15 minutes, a new magical adventure unfolds.
Tembo is a cross-over between storytelling and mentalism, where coincidences stack up into a memorable moment of wonder.
Little ones get the unique experience of sitting inside an elephant, but for adults too, it becomes something truly special.
A love letter to dreamers, to wonder, and to the art of getting lost in a story.
Do you dare to step inside?
