SONGS OF THE SEA
A large conch shell whispers stories of the ocean to children playing by the sea. As florescent fish float under a black-light starry sky a mysterious man appears in a rickety boat to tell his fishy tale.
The fabulously imaginative Songs of the Sea features the puppets of artist Sue Hill and music by Stephen Gallagher to weave together four stories of the deep, including how the children of Te Ika Rā, the lonely sunfish and Te Ika Marama the bright moonfish, got their rainbow colours.
Following a hit season in Australia, this beautiful production returns for a national tour to delight children with tales of the ocean told in English and te reo Māori. Beautiful, playful and a joy to watch this play will strike chords of wonder in younger audiences.
“…from the moment the lights dim and the Milky Way appears across the back wall the tone of the show becomes magical…it’s dazzling to watch, even for grown-ups.” Theatreview
