The Beacon – Lister Park
Whale, Where Are You Going?
S. Production
Move over, Moby Dick! There was a mysterious new whale at large in the ocean.
Set on a small island, this fun and word-free family show uses ingenious puppetry, nimble physical theatre and magical shadow play to chart the budding friendship between a lonely old man and a naughty little boy.
One’s brimming with curiosity, the other’s stuck in routine. But, lured by an elusive sea mammal, together they embarked on a voyage of discovery, hope, and renewal. This charming intergenerational tale was an endearing treat for all ages. European premiere.
