A comedic puppet adventure from Velvet Wells, for young (and young at heart) audiences
Afi Ata’s favourite ice cream shoppe is under new management and has stopped selling Chocolate Caramel – her favourite ice cream flavour! She got banned for speaking out.
Last night she had a dream about being bigger and winning over the new owners with powerful words. Today, she’s going to make her dreams come true and have justice served!
Every show:
- mask-mandatory for audiences
- ASL-English interpretation
- post-show audience talkback with the performer
Serious words about a silly show
Through metaphor, whimsy, and playfulness, this play explores how one young person encourages accountability (for a character exhibiting racist and trans misogynistic behaviour) to heal and strengthen the community
Take aways:
- let children be part of the conversation
- strength in numbers
- community building comes from repairing/healing our community ties
Themes: being Black, being queer, coming of age, transformative justice, community building
Theatrical Style: Puppetry, Comedy, Musical, Whimsy
