Among Dragons

4-5 June @ 10am, 11.30am & 7pm

Among Dragons is a heartwarming adventure for young audiences 9+, or 4th class upwards.

Meet Ira. Ira is pretty strong. Ira has built a den – a special hideout where memories spark stories, big feelings roar, and imagination takes flight. But most of all, Ira’s den is for remembering their grandad Mate- how they would arm-wrestle with his best friend Pedro, fly and rescue kites from trees, and reflect on the unexpected wonder of… snail poo.

Among Dragons is an immersive, playful show designed for a small audience of approx 35. The audience are brought onstage to sit inside the den Ira has created. They are encouraged to respond to and chat with Ira to help recreate the story. While Ira tells stories, lights, video and music come together to heighten and explore Ira’s memories and emotions.
