Mowgli - The Jungle Book

Sunday 25 October – Sunday 30 May

Teatro Armando Cortez, Cascais

Rudyard Kipling's jungle comes to life on stage with Mowgli, The Jungle Book, the new production by TIL, Teatro Infantil de Lisboa. Designed for children and young audiences, this musical revisits one of the great classics of literature from a contemporary perspective, placing at its center the relationship between Man and Nature. Raised in the jungle by Bagheera and Baloo, Mowgli knows a reality very different from Shanti's, who was raised in the village by Messua. Despite the differences that separate them, the two share the desire to bring these two worlds closer together and find in cooperation, dialogue, and friendship a possible path to do so. Along the way, they must also face Shere Khan, the fearsome tiger who sees Man as a threat. Through music, theater, and adventure, Mowgli, The Jungle Book proposes a reflection on sustainability, cultural and social differences, and the need to rethink our relationship with the natural world. A classic story that thus finds new questions for the present. School sessions: Tuesday to Friday at 11 AM and 2:00 PM (by prior booking) - Ph. 916 993 180 | [email protected]. Technical sheet: TIL - Teatro Infantil de Lisboa. Based on Rudyard Kipling. Text by Dino Kid; directed by Pessoa Júnior; featuring David Bernardino, Francisca Pina, Henrique Macedo, Kim Cachopo, Miguel Vasques, Patrícia Marques, Paulo Neto, and Rodrigo Balseiro.
