Jungle Theatre Company will perform Butterfly Dreams aka Metamorphosis with three performances taking place on the first three Saturdays of March.
Dancing on stilts with powerful drumming and spectacular costumes Butterfly Dreams is a surreal and larger than life celebration of a girl experiencing the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Hiding in a tree house she dreams the sounds of her garden turning into music; of two giant butterflies dancing. The male catches the female’s eggs and hangs them on a leaf where they hatch and grow into giant caterpillars. Can she challenge the predator and protect the miracle of life for her own big transformation? A street theatre piece, Butterfly Dreams speaks to the beginnings of Jungle Theatre Company, which grew out of performances at street festivals and events back in 1995, when Artistic Director, Vincent Meyburgh, began his career developing the unique performance style and artistic principles of Jungle Theatre Company.
As a non-verbal and hugely visual piece the theme of Butterfly Dreams links to the actor’s personal stories of big transformation. Funded by the National Arts Council and the Department of Cultural Affairs & Sports, this outdoor piece is fun for the whole family and accessible to all ages and cultures.
