Finding Home: Observation
TheatreDirect + Animacy Theatre Collective (Toronto, ON)
About the perfomance:
Artists and educators are invited to observe “Finding Home: A Salmon Journey Upstream” as a part of the Kinderfest Artist & Educator Package. Registration is limited based on audience capacity.
Finding Home is a touring play, originally performed right beside the Humber River, which is a part of the Great Lakes Basin and is a tributary of Lake Ontario. Not only that, but the Humber River also is home to migrating salmon making their way upstream to spawn just like Sojo and Beagle. The show also includes live music, puppetry, and masks. It is performed in a clown style which means Sojo and Beagle have the ability to interact with audiences (and have a lot of fun doing it!).
