Lyra lives on the marsh; running, rushing and clambering through the silt, a water explorer extraordinaire. Recently, she has noticed things don’t seem quite right, the water’s getting cloudier and even the otters don’t seem to play here anymore.
Not one to be frightened of the unknown, brave little Lyra camps out under the stars next to the river and her favourite willow tree, hoping to understand. As daylight turns to moonlight, Old Mother River comes to life—a spectacular 3-metre-tall puppet, with willow hair and a beautiful creased and crinkled face.
Together they dive into Old Mother River’s memory pool, discovering what has happened beneath the surface, and how everyone can do something to help protect our waters.
Created by award-winning puppetry and theatre company, Smoking Apples.
BEAM Family Fest is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
