Hosting PAPAYA Fest’s first-ever kid’s show! Join ‘Súper Chefs’ for a fun, interactive family musical exploring family, food, and Latin American culture
Six-year-old Manny is bursting with excitement at the thought of preparing a welcome home dinner for his dad Tony, who’s been away. With his mum, professional chef Valeria, his granny, Alma and favourite toy Mighty Mujer, he plans to cook a family meal of arepas, guacamole and delicious brigadeiros for dessert.
Alma, however, would rather Manny go and play with his toys than help in the kitchen, she thinks it’s “a woman’s place”. Manny feels differently. Why can’t he cook and learn to be a professional chef or a superhero when he grows up? Or both?
But when his mum goes to get a missing ingredient, and Alma falls asleep, a minor mishap risks putting the whole meal on the line. Manny will have to be resourceful and take on the challenge to put things right with the help of Mighty Mujer – and the audience!
Through singing, dancing, and real-life cooking, young audience members and their families participate in a unique experience exploring food, gender roles and the Latin American culture.
“The audience was invested and responsive, dancing and in some cases even calling out to warn the characters.”
