Little Amal: The walk

Available for over a year

Another opportunity to meet Little Amal, a 3.5 metre-tall puppet of a young 9-year-old refugee girl, created to represent all displaced children. She is travelling over 8000km, from Turkey, through Europe, ending in the UK. The Walk is a unique and ambitious travelling art festival organised by Good Chance Theatre in collaboration with Handspring Puppet Company, that brings artists, cultural institutions and community groups together in the countries Little Amal visits. Her message is “Don’t forget about us”. But at a time when the world is still fighting the Covid-19 pandemic and when anti-immigrant sentiment is present in certain countries, The Walk doesn’t come without its challenges. Join Cagil Kasapoglu as she meets the people involved, including Artistic Director Amir Nizar Zuabi and General Manager Sarah Loader, who travel with Little Amal across borders and seas. Presented by Cagil Kasapoglu and produced by Rebecca Armstrong for the BBC World Service.
