Birdlife Productions are back with a new puppet and music show using exquisite puppetry, live music, lots of giant caterpillar fun!‘Aya and the Butterfly’ is a heart-warming, joyful story about a little girl who finds happiness through her experience of the metamorphosis of the Monarch Butterfly. The story moves through the seasons, as they unfold upon the stage, transporting children on a shared journey with Aya, through all her ups and downs.
This exquisite puppet show is based on a book by Ōtautahi/Christchurch author Dr Maysoon Salama, who wrote the story for her young granddaughter Aya, after Aya lost her father in the Christchurch Mosque attacks in 2019. The story encourages ‘letting go’ and laughter, resilience building and dealing with change, all metaphorically reflected by the life cycle and metamorphosis of the Monarch Butterfly.
Dr Salama has been working closely with Birdlife Productions as a cultural advisor and mentor to
help bring her story to the stage. Designed for families and ideal for children aged 3 to 9 years, ‘Aya and the Butterfly’ encourages empathy for different cultures and confirms the healing power of nature.
Designed for families and ideal for children aged 3 to 9 years.
