Performance for young children of Young Explorers Academy, Kathmandu, Nepal| April 13, 2025 |

About the performance at Young Explorers Academy

Alli and Salli, the Alligators, got to meet the young children of the young explorers academy on April 13, 2025 in Kathmandu. The children came along on this 45 minutes journey of imaginations with Alli and Salli. They all teamed up to help Alli, role played to solve his problem and danced on the tunes to share joy.

About the Story

The story is about the two alligator characters, Alli and Salli who are going to school. On their way to school, Alli finds himself in a problem. They both try different ideas to fix the problem. Just like in a real world, when we often wear a mask to hide from our truths, Alli wears a mask behind which he hides his lie. While dancing and singing through the fun-filled session, suddenly Alli’s mask drops off. The teachers and the children find out Alli’s secret. They collectively help Alli to bring him out of his problem. Alli and Salli, now without hiding behind their masks, can enjoy the dance and the company of joyful children.

About Art & Craft Activity

After an interactive session of Storytelling, the kids participated in an art workshop led by The Joy House team where they made their own versions of Alligators through paper puppets. The children took the story of Alli and Salli with them in their minds, hearts and through their own alligator puppets.
