Najmniejszy słoń świata

The first ĄsąBąble of this sea­son is a musi­cal fairy tale for fam­i­lies with chil­dren aged 3–7.

One day, in a zoo, a lit­tle ele­phant was born. He had one dream: to set off on a jour­ney to Africa, the land his moth­er had told him about.

The adven­tures of the curi­ous hero, described and illus­trat­ed in Maciej Szy­manow­icz’s book “Najm­niejszy słoń świa­ta,” form the basis of our adap­ta­tion and musi­cal inter­pre­ta­tion of this wild tale. You will hear African bal­a­phones, a cir­cus snare drum, and a dark for­est con­jured per­cus­sive­ly by the unpre­dictable impro­vis­ers of Hash­tag Ensemble.

The sto­ry, told in the nar­ra­tor’s voice, will reach its great finale in a shared illus­tra­tive per­for­mance led by none oth­er than the author him­self. After the con­cert, as always, we will find time for close encoun­ters with the instru­ments. Come along with us!

The ĄsąBąble project cre­ative­ly devel­ops the con­cept of the “Smykow­iz­je” series of the “Muzy­ka jest dla wszys­t­kich” foun­da­tion, with­in which in 2016–2022 Hash­tag Ensem­ble and Anna Sza­w­iel per­formed togeth­er more than 130 con­certs and mini-per­for­mances, search­ing for the most inter­est­ing forms of pre­sent­ing new music. The con­cept and cura­tor­ship of Smykow­iz­je was the work of Anna Kierkosz. It was the first series of events in Poland addressed to the very youngest, in which con­tem­po­rary music played the lead role.
