About this Event
A curious young cub is accidentally swept into a bustling robot-run factory after being mistaken for a new worker. Struggling to keep up with the mechanical routines, the cub’s playful instincts begin to disrupt the system.
This highly visual story is brought to life through hand carved wooden marionettes, hand-painted sets and original music. Full of humour and striking imagery, the piece explores identity, the resilience of nature, and what happens when imagination meets a world of rules.
Inspired by the children’s book of the same name by Frank Tashlin and performed by String Theatre.
