Mimbo Jimbo makes art
Today, Mimbo Jimbo wants to make art. So he rolls out a canvas on the floor. He opens a bucket of yellow paint and pours it out. There! Now everything is yellow.
Then he takes a tube of blue paint and splashes it into the middle of the yellow.
And stomps on it. But it is not enough …
Mimbo Jimbo Makes Art is performance theatre for children, based on the popular children´s book by the renowned Danish artist Jakob Martin Strid.
All imaginable strategies are applied when a big painting is created live during each performance. It is a terrible mess. A very entertaining mess.
This performance is based on the story Mimbo Jimbo makes art by Jakob Martin Strid.
