Little Amal

In 2021, Good Chance Theatre, the organization behind Au Contraire Productions, produced The Walk in France, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium. This project featured a 3.80-meter-tall puppet representing a Syrian refugee child, Little Amal, who has become the symbol of refugee children. Our production took Amal through 4 countries and 40 events to raise awareness about the plight of these lonely and often lost children, with the message: “Don’t forget us.”
Since then, she has visited 166 cities in 17 countries, reaching millions of people. In January 2025, Little Amal continues her journey in Chile, covering 4,200 km in partnership with the Fundación Internacional Teatro a Mil. This journey includes participatory workshops and an educational pack for children aged 7-14 on the theme of migration. The project has accumulated 750,000 online consultations of our educational program.
