Description

An interactive music theatre show, the new work We Know How to Swim is coming to take younger and older audiences by storm. The story goes like this: In 2053 the Earth’s ice sheets have melt and the whole planet has sunk under the water. Only small parts of the land’s surface are spared and one of them is the Minoan Palace of Zakros. A polar bear arrives there looking for food. Artemis, a little girl, runs away from home to find the bear and rescue him. With the help of a bee, the adventure begins!

In this story the bear accuses people for the ecological disaster, the bee is mad at the bears for eating the honey, and Artemis at her parents for not letting her go after the bear. Will our heroes manage to get over their anger and animosity? If we were friends with each other but also with the animals and all of the planet’s living creatures, perhaps the future would be better.
