A spirited pastime of two tribespeople, one with a heart for adventure and the other with a preference to remain in the comfort of home, suddenly find themselves on an adventure of a lifetime to discover the lost location of the ‘oldest of old elders’.
A Not So Traditional Story follows the journey of Wurangkili & Timita across the island with an ‘Alien’, meeting animals who guide them along the way.
This story has a lovely blend of humour in relationships, spirit using shadow puppetry and wisdom through extravagant masks, all telling a story of culture and identity.
The performers – Craig Irons, Jordy Gregg, Nathan Maynard and Denni Proctor – portray their characters convincingly, bringing magnetic energy to the stage and each other (resulting in a couple of laughs and smiles between the cast members).
“The costumes were so amazing, can I have the Eagle one? It was such a pretty story, I really liked it when they helped each other.” – Hazel (5yrs Old)
