Imagine a world… “I am Root, the beginning of every story, but you, you are the middle and together we can find the end.” So says The Keeper of the Tree of Wishes. Journey along the “root” system with StoneLion Puppet Theatre as their intricate puppets bring to life real wishes gathered in our community and across the world.
This choose-your-own adventure featuring intricate puppets invites each audience to pick which cranes to let fly from the Tree of Wishes. No single performance will be the same – funny, touching, poignant and completely unique.
Wishes could be:
At each performance, the audience will be shown how to make their hands into cranes to fly as the wishes are brought to life in interactive fun and to reinforce the idea that our actions can actually make a difference, especially as part of a community. Audience members are encouraged to leave their wish for the world to be added to the show.
