Join us for a very special in-progress performance of Little Girl Lost - an uplifting new theatrical adventure for young people and their families from theatre makers Company of Rogues and Matriark Theatre. Told with magical puppetry and quirky animation, we follow the story of Rima, a young girl who wakes up to find herself in a dark place - a land of talking animals and shifting wilderness, where the familiar is made unfamiliar (and maybe vice versa). But she doesnt know who, what, or where she is. In order to find her way, Rima will charge herself with an epic adventure full of mystery, the bizarre, and the inspiring, aided by an Elephant who knows the way, and a Monkey that just wants to play. Rima will need to find the clues and put them back together before all time, reality, identity and legacy are lost forever. As she tries to find comfort and safety, take her fragile hand in yours, and help uncover truth from Lies; the real from the imagined; and how best one can find their way home. Exploring what it is to remember and be remembered, this in-progress showing will bring to life the plays central themes, puppetry and visual design and bring Peter Maples poetic words to the stage for the first time. Tickets: Adults $14, Concession/Industry $9, Under 15 Free - a small ticket fee applies to paid tickets only. Running time: 40 minutesAges: Suitable for ages 8+CREATIVE TEAMDirector: Scott ParkerPlaywright: Peter MapleProducer: Robbi JamesProduction Design: Aleisa JelbartSound & Music Design: Kathryn ParkerFeaturing: Eliane Morel (Elephant), Hayden Rodgers (Monkey) and Dannielle Jackson (Rima)This development of Little Girl Lost has been made possible with the support of an Inner West Council Art and Culture Grant and the City of Sydney. Little Girl Lost is based on an original idea by Goldele Rayment with a creative team that included Jane Grimley, Robbi James, Peter Maple and Emily Turner.PLEASE NOTE This new play has been created to help young people and their families understand the experience of Dementia/Alzheimers in a poignant yet entertaining way. Memories and moments from Rimas life, both past and present are cleverly woven into the play and gently revealed and personified by the magical characters she interacts with. As the play progresses and comes to its conclusion we learn that Rima is not actually a young girl but an elderly woman living with cognitive decline..WHAT IS AN IN-PROGRESS SHOWING?In-progress showings are created to help theatre makers test new work with audiences.
