Synopsis

Inspired by Japanese folklore, Little Bozu and Kon Kon tells a tender story of friendship, acceptance and self-discovery.  

 

When a shapeshifting raccoon and a misunderstood fox cross paths, a series of mix-ups and mistaken identities lead them on a journey of understanding. As they learn to see past appearances, their unlikely bond grows from curiosity and kindness into true friendship.  

 

Featuring beautifully designed puppets by Mayu Iwasaki and crafted by Katrina Gaskell, this gentle tale invites young audiences to reflect on empathy, differences and the warmth of connection.  

 

There will be a 15min post-show interaction with the puppets on set after each performance.
