A children’s play about Tarzan, the child of nature, on 30/09/2026 at 14:30 at 1 Daniel Frish, Tel Aviv. Admission is free.
The play tells the story of Tarzan, a child of nature who is left alone in the jungle.
Tarzan is adopted by Kala the gorilla, who raises him together with his brother “Cheetah,” as if he were her own flesh and blood.
With the help of his brother and the other animals, Tarzan learns to discover the wonderful secrets of nature, how to live peacefully with all animals, and how to protect the environment.
One day, an expedition from London arrives in the jungle. It includes a professor and his curious daughter, along with Mr. Clayton and Marie.
The expedition arrives to study the way gorillas live and the environment in general.
During the research, Jane—the professor’s daughter—meets Tarzan.
Despite their differences, they find a common language and learn about each other’s customs.
A beautiful friendship develops between them, overcoming every obstacle. Tarzan teaches Jane about nature and the importance of protecting the environment in which we live, while Jane teaches Tarzan about the world beyond the jungle.
The expedition’s security guard, Mr. Clayton, devises a malicious plot, while the professor on one side and the gorilla on the other fear the relationship between Jane and Tarzan.
Nature “intervenes” on behalf of the two, and the circle of life works its magic on all the creatures of nature.
