Intended for young theatergoers, the play "Apolodor" reconstructs the adventures of the cute penguin-tenor, longing for his family, in search of whom he crosses the globe far and wide, on several continents, finding friends, but also enemies. Carried by a twin-engine plane, the "Meteor" fishing boat, an Eskimo's canoe, a submarine, and even a dolphin and a spaceship, Apolodor ends up, most often by mistake, through the most amazing and exotic lands of the world: the North Cape, the Behring Strait, Alaska, Africa, Madagascar, Tibet, India, the Pacific, the United States of America, the Caribbean Sea, South America, learning various trades and becoming, one after another, a porter, hunter, poet, fakir, sailor, cowboy. When he finally finds his family in Antarctica, his wandering spirit doesn't let him enjoy the reunion for too long: gripped by longing for his fellow choir members from the Bucharest circus, Apolodor returns to his post on the cooler, where he can be found even today.
