Kai’s river is mucky. Bear is sad. How to fix it: let’s build a boat out of blue-tack and leaves and journey to a magical land where the sick Queen Trout, Charon and a Pirate run the water! We can fix everything…can’t we? Travel with Kai along the River Avon to meet the Great Spirit of the River. This is an interactive swash-buckling family show where we seek tangible dreams of our future. This is a 40-minute family theatre project exploring imagination, hope, community and the magic of nature.
A show that approaches future worlds with curiosity.; with pirates as a vehicle to access an anarchistic and DIY way of thinking. Using imaginary play as a metaphor to assist children grappling with an increasingly scary world with issues of climate and family at its centre.
On the company: Bella is a queer, neurodivergent theatre-maker, director and drama facilitator; she has a BA in Drama from the University of Exeter.
