A must-see for families and anyone who has ever cherished a beloved toy!
Lights! Cameras! Action! Set within a film shoot, layered with live projections, make sure you bring your own toy to this thoughtful, reimagined production of Velveteen Rabbit.
This is a show where the toys are in charge on stage and your own special guest toy is a VIP. One of those rare stories that dare to tease out complex themes of love, loss and change in a way that allows children to connect with them, Velveteen Rabbit is about a toy rabbit who becomes real…but how did it happen?
In the hands of Born in a Taxi, the story is infused with dynamic audience participation, live and recorded music with live stream video and projections layered into the work that plays with multiple scales that reflect the perspective of a child.
“This is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful piece of work”
