'Born in a Taxi' theatre ensemble presents The Whale's Tale, outdoors at Venue 114 for two performances on Sunday June 9.
A whale is washed up on a beach. Is it alive? It's time to put on your shrimp helmet, take a deep breath and dive inside the jaws of Manilayo the giant humpback whale who needs your help!
Become a hero and live to tell the tale in this interactive performance spectacle that lets you embark on a journey to find out what's wrong with Manilayo with the dubious help of Dr. Walrus.
Highly interactive, playful and full of riotous slapstick The Whale's Tale is an environmental tale to warm the heart while reflecting on the consequences of our actions and our impact on the environment.
The Whale's Tale is a rollicking journey that will leave you and your children wanting to make a positive difference for our oceans.
"The ingenuity of this manifestation must be acknowledged. It spurts water, ups a periscope; its eye – the one we can see – closes, opens and rolls; its huge mouth opens, its tongue lifts; its pectoral fin moves, its tail lifts ... It is even able to poop out people! Unseen puppeteer Jamie Bishop does a wonderful job of animating this creature and making us believe." - John Smythe, Performing Arts Review, New Zealand
