ELEPHANT

Chief Zanenvula, a good man and respected by his tribe, has just died and has been forbidden entry to heaven. Distraught and uncomprehending he calls on his ancestors to find the answer. "Go back, look at your past", they tell him, "take a glimpse into the future. What do you see?"

As we join the Chief in looking back over his life we meet the people he knew and see the choices he made. Eventually he comprehends how he has offended the spirit of Africa and how he may be able to redeem himself.

Elephant is a visual feast for all the family celebrating the universal themes of forgiveness and humanity or "Ubuntu".

Performers from the U.K. and South Africa come together in a multi-talented company of actors, dancers, puppeteers, storytellers and musicians.

"I cannot fault this production. Inspiring physical theatre which will enchant adults, children and anyone in between" Three Weeks

"... enough charm to stop a rhino.. the energy of the cast is infectious." The Stage

"..worth seeing for the elephants alone..beautiful, heartbreaking and uplifting" The List
