Big Wolf Company "Liquorice and Lemons" / NAKS Festival

Life is full of small moments – problems, joy, fun, disappointments, tears, smiles and so much more that is impossible to put into words. So even after a bite of sour lemon or a bitter liquorice the taste is so sweet afterwards.

Liquorice and lemons is a play for children and childlike grown-ups. It charms people with playful teasing while reminding how simple we really are.

The play was created to bring attention to nuances of everyday communication, simplicity and playfulness.
