'Guyi-Guyi:' Children puppetry theatre
Perifera Teatro presents an exciting new take on a classic children’s fairytale in New York City.
Guyi-Guyi is a crocodile born into a family of ducks by accident. He lives happily with them until one day he meets a crocodile. When he finds out that crocodiles eat ducks, Guyi-Guyi has to decide what his true nature is.
Guyi-Guyi is a free adaptation of the story of Ugly Duckling. Through play and humor, the play reflects on prejudice and the fear of difference. For children ages 3 and up. The show lasts 50 minutes.
