Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia (Canada): The Very Hungry Caterpillar & Other Eric Carle Favourites
Theatre
Description
Description
Picture book stars leap from the page
As neon puppets that light up the stage
One apple, two pears, five oranges, and more…Will the little caterpillar ever start to feel full?
The discontented chameleon would rather be something else entirely. Perhaps a handsome flamingo? Or a far-seeing giraffe? Until, finally, the restless reptile realises it is best to be himself!
In a paean to the imagination, free-spirited Little Cloud transforms into different shapes – a rabbit, a sheep, even a shark!
The tales of children’s author-illustrator Eric Carle have gladdened countless youngsters’ hearts over the past five decades. In this mesmerising production, three of Carle’s most cherished stories (The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Mixed-Up Chameleon, and Little Cloud ) are adapted into a trio of blacklight puppetry theatre shows. Featuring glow-in-the-dark puppets and cheery original music, the performance is an enchanting way to stimulate curious young minds.
