The Land Puppet Show (in welcome centre theatre)
The land is a twenty-minute bilingual theatre performance for the whole family, which includes puppetry! It’s the story of Rita, the muskrat, and Charles, the seagull, a couple married for many moons. They crossed the ocean and adapted to new territories. The tide that rises will change their lives, but the future remains resilient. Charles sees life from the sky, while Rita sees it from the ground. Both will follow a different path, but will stay connected by the land that greeted them. The sea is the memory of their love.
Length: 20 minutes
