BURP

Get ready for BURP, a heartening tale about a man who loves collecting sounds in glass jars, each one a doorway to a special memory or feeling. Every day, he carefully picks a few sound jars and plays them on his Incredible Sound Machine, transporting him back to extraordinary moments in time. 

But one day, something strange happens – a mighty burp ripples through his entire body, a vibration so powerful that he just has to collect it before it flies away!

Discover all types of sounds – some near, some far, and some that move through different things. Will the man be swift enough to capture Burp in his sound jar, or will Burp give him the slip? Come along for an extraordinary game of chase between Burp and the sound collector! 

PIP Says
This is a performance that encourages children and their adults to listen closely to sounds that tell a story. In exploring different sounds and the feelings we associate with them, children can learn to identify, express and respond to emotions in themselves and others.
