An Eastern adventure story told by puppets is set to delight young audiences at Lancaster’s Dukes theatre later this month.
The Waving Cat of Japan is a new show featuring the curious Japanese figurine of folk tales and legends which is said to bring good luck.
The Bunraku puppet-style theatrical fantasy mixes in traditional Japanese images borrowed from Noh and Kabuki theatre traditions and features a wicked sorceress, a not-so-smart prince and three tricky tasks to perform before midnight.
It’s presented by Krazy Kat Theatre Company which uses sign language in all of its performances. Their shows are accessible to all children and young people and are presented by an integrated company of deaf and deaf-aware performers.
It’s ideal for ages 3 plus and will be fully signed.
