Join Little Wing Puppets for an interactive, environmental detective story told through the art of puppetry! Something has gone missing, and Mrs. Mavis Hooley has been looking everywhere. Every day, a new thing seems to disappear. Mavis calls in a Detective to investigate, and in the dead of night, he finds something peculiar. The children’s role is to help him solve the case!
As well as unraveling a mystery, kids will learn about the unique habits of the extraordinary Australian animal, the Satin Bowerbird, and their fascination with the color blue. This production features a fun mix of Detective Noir, slapstick humor, and educational content about this intriguing creature, utilizing Banraku puppetry, based on the traditional Japanese puppet form.
