Ale is a 12 year old who knows the power of ‘’poftă’’ and the importance of honoring a craving, so she’s on a mission! “6 toffees, 5 mouths. De sufletu’ lu’ Fiodor’’.
What people on missions don’t tell you is that they’re all afraid of getting caught.
Sometimes, when you find yourself running, it's because you’ve just been very brave the minute before your feet decided to change location.
Toffees de sufletul lu' Fiodor by Alexandra Gogan. A story with English, Romanian and Romani.
Written and performed by Alexandra Gogan
Additional performance by Tica Muntean, Alex Nucu & Lauren Kelly

يلا The best pairings are often the most unlikely. Chips and milkshakes. Sandals and fluffy socks. Blathering seashells and a crescent moon. In this story, an unusual allyship is formed between Arwa, a quiet and curious young girl بنت صغيره, and Gary, a moany grandiose limpet, as the pair venture together under the sea بحر in a quest to retrieve a precious jewel in time for Ramadan.

Seo é Caoimhe agus na Caoga Caorigh Craicáilte Le Fionn Foley
Tá Caoimhe deich bliain d’aois agus ina chonaí ar fheirm beag lena thuistí amuigh faoin tuath. Nuair a chloiseann a hathair go bhfuil a ghabhar, Setanta, tar éis bhriseadh isteach in Oifig an Phoist agus é ag ithe an t-airgead Comaoineach ar fad, cuireann sé de chúram ar a hiníon aire a thabairt ar a chuid caoige caoire craiceáilte. Níl Caoimhe ró-thogtha leis an jab in aon chor, ach shocraíonn sí cabhrú lena hatháir má ligeann sé í breathnú ar Lethal Weapon II an tráthnóna sin.
D’aithíonn Caoimhe amach nach bhfuil sé chomh eascá mar a shíl sí aire a thabairt ar caoige caora cantalach. Tosaíonn ráflaí ag dul tríd an tréad faoi mic tíre agus sionnach fiachmhar sa choill in aice an bpáirc - agus tosaítear deighilt ceart i measc na caoire.

Dee-Dee Nee-Bee-Ess-Kee is 12 years old and she loves to daydream and to play with her little dog, Bobek.
Mieszka w małym miasteczku niedaleko pięknego lasu.
One day she decides not to go to school but, instead, to go to the forest to have a special day all to herself.
"Bobek - I will have a fantastic day and do all the things I want to do," she tells her little dog.
