Baboró Festival takes place live and online

Baboró International Arts Festival for Children begins next Monday, October 5, and runs until October 18, with a range of live and online theatrical, musical and artistic events for younger audiences.

Theatre shows include The Dig from Paul Curley, a heart-warming tale about archaeologist Mac and his grandmother, for children aged 6+. Wilde Garden Adventures from Bewley’s Café Theatre features two Oscar Wilde stories – Michael James Ford’s  version of The Happy Prince and a new production of The Selfish Giant with actress Bairbre Ní Chaoimh and three puppets. Both feature music by Prokofiev and Saint-Saëns, performed by violinist, Philip Dodd. Mountain Goat Mountain from Australian theatre company Threshold offers families a chance to explore tunnels, lava pits and underwater caves without leaving home.

Northern Irish company, Cahoots will broadcast The University of Wonder & Imagination into homes and schools, with the mysterious Professor Bamberg sending participants on a magical self-navigated quest where nothing is as it seems.

Dance from Birdboy from United Fall and choreographer Emma Martin is the story of a boy who wishes he was a bird, so he can fly off, leaving all his cares behind.
