Guardians of the Gods is a play about what unites children across the globe: living in a world ruled by adults. Sometimes adults seem like gods—powerful, protective, and kind. But they can also be unpredictable and dangerous. What adults often overlook is children’s unique power: their ability to see right through them.

Special Thanks

The play has been developed based on interviews with children and adults from 11 different countries across five continents. Over the next year, the play will be performed in all 11

countries in their respective languages.The play is part of The Childhood Project – a major international collaboration between all participating theatres, from Bangladesh to Finland. The project aims to enhance culture for children and young people all over the world.
