About Mermaid Theatre Company of Nova Scotia

Last season’s "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" was such a success that this incredible company is back to captivate families with their latest production drawn from Leo Leonni’s exquisitely crafted characters from Swimmy, Frederick and Inch by Inch.

Swimmy is a tiny fish in the vast ocean who uses ingenuity to fend off danger. Frederick, a mouse who is a poet from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, makes everyday life an artful experience. The story of Inch by Inch features a lovable inchworm who is proud of his ability to measure absolutely everything, including a robin's tail, a flamingo's neck, a toucan's beak, a heron's legs, and a nightingale's song.

About Baobab - Theatre Motus

Exploring coloured shadow plays, acting techniques and puppeteering, Théâtre Motus has developed its own artistic style to delight young audiences. "Baobab" takes place in a region of West Africa where a drought has persisted for many years. One day, an ancient baobab tree brings forth an egg and from this egg is born a little boy. The people in the village discover that he is the only one who can free the
source of water. Then begins a quest during which only the courage of a child might change the history of the world.

In this sunny environment where shade provides a soothing break, the African percussions turn into animals while masks and puppets become genies or witches! Let the great “griot” guide you in this fabulous story inspired African legends.
