Polyglot Theatre's "We Built This City" at Kijimuna Festival 2011
23 July 2011 - 24 July 2011
The annual Okinawa city festival for young people (‘Kijimuna’ festival) is the largest youth festival in Asia with more than 50 productions from 10 different countries. It presents the opportunity for children participating in stage productions to share their international works. This year, Australia’s renowned Polyglot puppet theatre company will present their most enduring production of We Built This City, in which children can play in a village made out of cardboard, which they then cathartically dismantle at the end of the show.
We Built This City is an interactive play space for families in which kids and families build an imaginary city out of cardboard. Constructed, dismantled, re-configured, augmented, passed through and re-built, this guided setting maximises the endless fun a cardboard box represents to the fertile imagination of a child. Maze-like tunnels, arches, towers and labyrinths eventually become a cityscape, after which the city is pulled down and transformed into a heap of rubble.
Live and mixed music and gregarious characters facilitate a happy event in which children can exercise their skills in cooperation, compromise and practical application.
