TASHI

Imaginary Theatre and Brisbane Powerhouse present TASHI...

For 4-10 year olds and their families.

Step into a world of pirates, princesses, demons and giants as Tashi tells of his amazing adventures in his old country. Based on Anna Fienberg's ever popular book series for emerging readers, the four Imaginary performers bring alive these exciting stories featuring wild and colourful characters such as the Wicked Baron, Chintu the Giant, the Warlord, Princess Sarashina, as well as a host of others including dragons, swans, and tigers. Imaginary Theatre combine elements of storytelling, object theatre, dramatic play and physical theatre, with imaginative design, sound and lighting to create a truly magical theatre experience.

Over 48,000 children, parents and carers have thrilled to these original theatre works since they were first developed as a QUT student theatre project for the 2004 Out of the Box Festival and with repeat seasons at Brisbane Powerhouse (2005) and at South Korea’s Seoul International Picture Book Festival 2005. In 2006 Imaginary Theatre was founded, and since then TASHI has been produced professionally at the 2006 Out of the Box Festival, 8 Powerkidz seasons at Brisbane Powerhouse, Brisbane Festival 2006 and 2009, 2009 Sydney Children’s Festival, 2010 South Coast Children’s Festival and in 17 other regional and metropolitan venues across Australia.
