ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
The State Library NSW is thrilled to host Incredibilia, a magical theatre performance which weaves together 20 of Libby Hathorn’s most popular children’s books using music, songs and puppetry.
We are offering schools unable to attend onsite performances the opportunity to join in the magic – complete with a special live Q&A with Libby Hathorn, Kim Carpenter and actors Manon Gunderson-Briggs and Fabio Jaconelli following the show!!
Incredibilia follows two intrepid best friends as they embark on an imaginative journey, crossing super-hot deserts, exploring exotic gardens and taking a trip over the moon, all to discover the true meaning of connection.
Adapted for stage by acclaimed theatre-maker, Kim Carpenter (of Theatre of Image), with music by Peter Kennard’s extraordinary one-man band, this heartwarming performance is a celebration of family, friendship, and the comfort of home.
Incredibilia is recommended for children aged 5 to 10 years (K – 4).
