A Hippo Poet at sea is stuck in a rut of writer’s block when he finds his boat filling with new and peculiar characters seeking shelter, together they navigate conflict, generosity, kindness, and questions about who they are.
Rock the Boat was created by a multi-ethnic ensemble who combine puppetry, movement, music, and poetry to explore themes of refuge, inclusion, and respectful curiosity. The show aims to get young audiences thinking about relocation, displacement and the interconnectedness of racial, climate, and social justice. The production addresses attitudes about acceptance of those who come from other countries and cultures, and provides a narrative in which there is room for everyone in an inclusive society. Our virtual presentation will include a live stream of the filmed version of Rock the Boat, followed by an interactive Q&A with the cast and creative team! Recommended for all ages 4 and up.
