Presented by New International Encounter Returning to Cambridge Junction following their hit Christmas show Snow White, acclaimed theatre company New International Encounter present a beautiful storytelling show in a yurt! Step inside our yurt and travel back in time …. Featuring 3000-year-old objects and footprints from nearly a million years ago, these fantastical, funny and thought-provoking tales will transport you back through the ages to a time when Fenland was joined to Europe and survival was the order of the day. Once Upon a time in Fenland is a co-created show using stories written by over 250 children from across Cambridgeshire, and developed in collaboration with local partners including the Cambridge Archaeological Unit, and Wisbech and Fenland Museum… this show mixes fact and fiction and asks what are the common threads that lead us to where we are now. Featuring animation and NIE’s ensemble of actor/musicians, this show will be performed in a yurt with a mix of bench seating for adults and floor seating for children. “Excellent – Innovative, inventive and engaging show!…Simple but engrossing story-telling.” Deborah Curtis, City of Cambridge Council Suitable for ages 8+ Duration: 60 minutes Warnings: This performance may contain haze School groups: please email [email protected] to book No booking fees when you become a Member – save from £2.50 per ticket!
