Family dance theatre production by Sonia Sabri Company that uses puppetry, mask-work and movement to help a little girl come to terms with her feelings.
Sonia Sabri Company bring their new family dance theatre production, Noori and Her Fantastical World, to the Belgrade Theatre on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 February, with shows at 10.30am and 2pm both days. It's a brand-new piece from the company, which describes itself as the leading South Asian dance and music company in the UK today.
The story follows a little girl called Noori, who lives with her dad on a noisy, busy street and misses her mum, overwhelmed by the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with it. When she opens her front door, she discovers a magical world filled with wise and beautiful creatures whose mission is to help her navigate and come to terms with her feelings through comfort, guidance and acceptance. It's a story about a child working through loss and the complicated emotions that follow, told in a way that's open for young ones to follow.
On stage, the production weaves together puppetry, mask-work, movement and non-verbal storytelling, so it's as much about what you see as what you hear. It's recommended for ages 3 to 7, making it a good shout for a half-term outing with the younger ones in the house. The non-verbal side of things means it's a show that works on its own without needing a lot of dialogue to get the point across.
