Kabam!
DIRECTOR / ELISABETH HESEMANS
Are you ever afraid? When your heart pounds and your legs start to tremble?
The children in Mr. Mo's (Idriss Nabil) third-grade class are. For example, they're afraid of the dog, the deep end at swimming lessons, or of looking silly in class. Fortunately, they all have rich imaginations that help them out.
In each of the ten short stories, we get to know one of the children in the class. These are all very different, headstrong, funny, and energetic characters who manage to come up with a solution to their problem with a lot of humor and imagination.
In the preschool series KABAM!, familiar childhood fears take center stage. The series shows that everyone gets scared sometimes and demonstrates in a playful way that there is often a solution at hand. With a little imagination, that's how you do it!
A special educational package for Kabam! has been developed for the lower grades of Dutch primary schools by the education team of Theatermakerij Enschede in collaboration with Taartrovers, with support from the Network for Film Education.
