Jeromaia Detto: When I Grow Up...

Award winning expert in play & silliness, Jeromaia Detto, turns your childhood dreams into a show!

A babies body is sitting with an adult head of performer Jeromaia Detto, who has dark curly hair and a cheeky grin on his face. In the background are a range of small painted portraits of children performing various jobs. There is a builder, doctor, lawyer and artist.
The performer is wearing a red fabric as a bib. He is holding a metal detector. An audience member is holding the other end of the fabric as a painters pallet is placed on the fabric.
The image shows a man in a theatrical setting, performing in front of an audience. He is wearing a brown cowboy-style hat and a tan blazer with black clothing underneath. He holds a lantern in one hand and appears to be in the middle of an expressive gesture, leaning forward towards the audience. Behind him, there is a clothes rack with various colorful costumes, suggesting a backstage or performance environment. The background is a black curtain, adding a dramatic, focused atmosphere to the scene.
