Wonderkind

Wonderlight Theatre returns with Wonderkind for Capital E National Theatre for Children’s season of Bite-Size Treats.

Join fledgling friends, Tim and Em, as they set off on a journey around the world and beyond. Everyday objects transform and come to life as they explore the depths of the ocean and the plains of the Savanna before turning their eyes towards the stars… 

Wonderkind is a brand-new, magical theatre experience for children that explores the endless possibilities for wonder and joy that lie in true friendship. 

Combining puppetry, live performance, stunning visual design, a delightful original music score and the epic power of imagination, Wonderkind will take you and your ākonga on a journey of a lifetime.

“This is the best kind of children’s theatre: nothing is laid out as prescribed and exact. These creatives give credit to the young audience to allow their imaginations to see and feel the story through their own unique eyes.” — Jo Hodgson, Theatreview
