Runaway Moon Theatre presents The Song of the Swan, playing at Curly Willow Farm in Grindrod from July 10 to 20.
A story of friendship between a girl and a swan, told with puppets, music and sumptuous sets.
"Part true and part fairytale, The Song of the Swan celebrates the magnificent Trumpeters, who have regenerated in numbers after coming close to extinction, and who grace the waters in our region during the winter months," said theatre manager Jasmin Wright.
For adults and children alike, the tiny being of puppets are brought to life by human companions, creating a mesmerizing expression of vulnerability and wonder.
"Expert hands weave movements that blur the lines between real and imagined," said Wright.
Acclaimed director Treena Stubel along with playwright and musical director Cathy Stubington bring to life musical adaptations from Pavane pour une Infante Defunte by Maurice.
Sarah May Redmond uses the harp to lull the audience into something akin to a dream; a shared memory.
Professional puppeteers Cathy Stubington, Rennan Bankowski, Glitter Esquivias, and Sarah May Redmond use delicate hands to transport the audience to a time when the fate of trumpeter swans was hanging by a few tenuous threads.
"A story of hope as we navigate our way in these tumultuous times."
Performances take place nightly at 7:30 p.m. from Thursdays to Sundays with matinees at 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
