Presented by New International Encounter Travel back in time to the Romans and then even further into pre-history.
Artefacts from the most important archaeological dig in Northern Europe reveal stories of migration and tribulation told by an intrepid team of archaeologists. 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 deep time when Fenland was joined to Europe and survival was the order of the day.
Using stories written by over 250 children from across Fenland and developed in collaboration with 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.
The show, featuring animation and NIE’s ensemble of actor/musicians, will be performed in a yurt with a mix of bench seating for adults and sitting on the floor for children.
“Excellent – Innovative, inventive and engaging show!…Simple but engrossing story-telling.” — Deborah Curtis, City of Cambridge Council
“On each mention of a familiar town or object, I sensed a deepening connection to the child’s sense of place.” — Michael Corley, Fitzwilliam Museum
