The Flight of Babushka Baboon

LIVE PERFORMANCES

8TH February – 30TH March • LITTLE VENICE

The story of a baboon who wants to fly to the moon in a hot-air balloon. On the way, she meets an elephant who is threatened by ivory hunters! Will Babuscha save the elephant? And will she ever reach the moon? This production is a magical combination of string marionettes, shadow puppets, haunting music, beautiful lighting and moving poetry, and is guaranteed to captivate adults and children alike.

Suitable for age 4+

Duration: 60 min with interval

Recommended for ages 4-10

This show has a storyline that can be followed and enjoyed by 4 and 5 year olds, but also uses more complex ideas, humour, dialogue and song lyrics that older children and adults will get more out of. There is nothing really scary in this show but it does use dramatic music and lighting, for example the theatre will go dark during the performance which some children might find unsettling and the characters face some perils during the performance. 

All ages are welcome at our shows and age ranges can only be a rough guide, but please bear in mind that Captain Sandy and the Sea Monster was not specially designed for under-fours. A show aimed at two-year olds would have some differences – those shows are carefully made to hold their attention for the duration, and not to be unsettling for them. If you do bring under fours to the show, we ask that you take them out if they become upset or distracted so as not to effect the enjoyment of the rest of the audience.
