LITTLE FRANK - A STORY IN LITTLE PIECES
Gompa Project Collective presents Little Frank - A story in little pieces, winner of the SESC Scenic Arts Award. It is a play for children and teenagers inspired by the characters and situations of Mary Shelley’s literary work, Frankenstein.
The story, already a classic among different generations, functions here as a starting point for discussions about childhood, growth, loss, isolation, bullying, friendship, self-esteem, creativity, and acceptance of oneself and others.
Victor Frankenstein is a weird and lonely young man who, almost accidentally, creates someone to keep him company, defying the limits of science and his age. However, the Creature doesn't come out exactly as he wanted; after all, almost nothing comes out as we want it. Victor needs to understand that Little Frank has its own will and is quite different from what he imagined. But that is not something bad, on the contrary, it is a beautiful and fun thing. The two live great adventures together and begin to transform themselves and accept their differences.
The story is told through narration, theater, dance, visual arts, and an original soundtrack, reinventing the first literary work of science fiction. The play proposes a dialogue between science, biology, literature, and physics, instigating the children’s imagination and creativity.
