Sail Boat Home

Sail Boat Home was performed by Company Bad, AFK and WAAPA as part of the Awesome Festival for Bright Young Things, in a completely transformed Geography Room at the State Library.

A completely interactive, workshop style production, children and their accompanying adults sat on the floor in the middle of the room as the action unfurled around them. The young participants became part of the show as they played musical instruments and operated puppets to further the story.

Aimed at children aged 4-8, this was a multi-lingual performance in English, Korean and Auslan as we helped Captain Bobusang reignite his memory, so that he could find his way home.

Performed by three performers who are vibrant but gentle, this unthreatening but absorbing little show, kept its participants fully involved throughout.

A lovely little surprise package within the Awesome Festival.
