This is an interactive puppet performance for children aged 3 – 11, and family audiences. It is a celebration of festivals from around the world: Divali, Christmas, Chinese New Year and Carnival. However, it can be performed at any time of the year.

Puppets of all shapes and sizes, from nine inches to nine feet high, bring Mrs. Tropolis’s stories to life. This is a joyful celebration of children, communities and festivals, in the setting of a glowing city at night.

Follow-up workshops can be booked with the performance, on the theme of celebrations and festivals.

This show has toured in Brazil for the British Council, and has been performed in many theatres and schools throughout the U.K., most recently at The Lowry Centre, Salford, as part of their Christmas celebrations.
