The egg in Fly Habibi! by The Puppetry Company Dukkenikkerne is bigger and more beautiful than any egg anyone in the palace has ever seen. Is there anything within the egg? How should it be kept warm? The wait falls long for everyone in the palace. But the time is filled with stories, songs and imaginative fantasies about what the egg may contain. Habibi is Arabic and means "My friend".
Fly Habibi! by The Puppetry Company Dukkenikkerne was supported by the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA (travel grant/performing arts).
