Waldemar’s Childhood by Stella Polaris was poetic and magical, filled with a humour and warmth.

Waldemar had an unusual childhood. He grew up with a single mother in a wheelchair, and daily he had to help her with everything.

His mother was a strong woman, with a political involvement often bearing fruit. Following in her steps could be hard for a little fellow, but it also gave him strength in life. To survive and to cheer up the daily life he chose the ways of the clown. This followed him through life.

Waldemar’s Childhood by Stella Polaris was told using movement, juggling, magic and music. It was suitable for children of all ages.
