What's Happening?

The story of ‘Millie the Black Kite’ is based on the story of a famous Broome bird who accidently hitched a ride to Bali.
This beautiful, interactive puppet performance is the result of a collaboration between a Broome and Indonesian puppet companies. The story is told using a multitude of puppets.
The story is a reflection on the impact of human intervention in the lives of animals, the importance of understanding the needs of wildlife in a changing world, a call for humanity and understanding, and what it means to be free.
It is suitable for all ages, but children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
