For a limited time, from August 12 ¨C 20,
everyone¡¯s favourite caterpillar will be crawling back into the hearts
of children everywhere! |
|
The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other Eric
Carle Favourites will be recreated on stage at the Jubilee Hall and
expect to be mesmerized by the theatrical magic of beautiful large
puppets in a unique black light presentation. |
|
The Narration |
|
The story follows the wonderful adventures
of a teeny but famished caterpillar who after satisfying his insatiable
appetite, is transformed into a beautiful butterfly. |
|
Expect coos of delight from both children
and adults as the caterpillar hatches from its egg and appears in his
round, red face and pliable, multi-legged body. |
|
This narration will also be accompanied by
the delightful antics of Little Cloud and its inquisitive journey
through the sky where it replicates the different shapes of things that
it sees such as a plane, a sheep, a hat and a clown. |
|
Last but not least, in the tale of The
Mixed-Up Chameleon, a bored Chameleon decides to embark on an
adventure to the zoo where it eventually discovers its own unique
nature amongst the various exotic animals there. |
|

The simple and visually appealing art of
Eric Carle transcends seamlessly from book to stage and provides an
