KAN YAMA KAN

Stage Production
February 2022
Global Theatre, Riyadh


Kan Yama Kan is a new stage production comissioned by the Wonderjunkie Theatre Company.

Through the lens of relationships, Kan Yama Kan unpicks the desire to find meaning and fulfillment. Blurring the lines between the fantastical and the real, it re-interprets a handful of stories from the 1001 Nights into a humorous and heartfelt narrative.

Kan Yama Kan features a bespoke stage and auditorium design with original music composition, musical performance, an international ensemble of dancers and aerlialists, state of the art puppetry, video projection, and narrative storytelling in Arabic.
