Children's Poetry day and Puppet theatre play at the LIGCA. The  new exhibition at the LIGCA shows pictures from children from all  over the world. Come and listen to stories about children in South  Africa, Egypt, Peru, Israel, France and Germany! In the short break you can draw your own story about immigration  or what you think why people emigrate.

See the puppet play: What would you have done?

 In 1938 in Bonn, Germany, a scientist decides to immigrate to South  America because he does not want to participate in Hitler's war.  After a long journey by ship he arrives in Peru. In the fear of  being expelled from the country, he decides to live in mountains  with the Quechua Indians like being one of them and learns their  language. After the war he is uncertain whether he should return  to his native country.

Not everybody likes him there. Some people  think he ran away from a war while they had difficult times. On  the other hand, exile has made a different man of the scientist.  He wants to help people to better understand each other and to live  together in peace tolerating each other's differences. This is what  the Quechuas told him about life!
 Come and see a play full of suspense...
