THE WAY Back Home, a theatrical adaptation of the hugely successful book by the multi award-winning Oliver Jeffers, is set to be one of the highlights of this year’s Baboró International Arts Festival for Children.
The Way Back Home features puppetry, animation, and music and explores the boundless imagination of children. It is aimed at four to six-year-olds and will be presented by Branar Téater do Pháistí, Denmark’s Teater Refleksion, and Baboró.
In this story by Oliver Jeffers (The Incredible Book Eating Boy, Lost and Found ), a boy discovers a single-propeller aeroplane in his closet and uses it to fly into outer space. While in journeying through the cosmos he makes a new friend and undertakes a quest to help him.
“This is a very exciting production,” said Baboró artistic director Lali Morris. “This co-production also signifies a new development, in this our 18th year, where the show will be performed here in Ireland, in London and in Denmark.”
Baboró runs from October 11 to October 19 this year and the full programme of events will be launched next Monday, September 8.
The show takes place in the Black Box Theatre from Thursday October 16 to Sunday 19 at 11am and 3pm. Tickets are now on sale at €9 (individual ), €30 (family of four ). Groups of 10+ are €7.50 per ticket. Booking is through 091 - 569777 or tht.ie See baboro.ie
