Whale Song : Curious Legends

Join Curious Legends for their new show, ‘Whale Song’, as they unite video projection, giant illuminated LED puppets, community art and choir in large-scale immersive theatre. Participants are invited to join in a parade led by a moving soundscape and whale pod, and celebrate the humpback whale migration season. During the event Curious Legends will hold workshops, and facilitate community led theatre that invites everyone to find a way- big or small- to participate in our show. Come along and become a sea creature, a blob of seaweed, sing along with a live community choir and learn more about the ocean and its critters.
