Wind-Up Penguin is a troupe of professional musicians and actors , all with firsthand experience of how the arts can transform lives. We perform original music and theatre shows in refugee camps, orphanagesslumshospitals, and rural communities in countries of high child poverty and large numbers of refugees.
