There are many majestic creatures in the world, but elephants are in a category all their own. Their unique beauty and unmatched mystique are celebrated in an incredibly creative way in New Victory’s “The Vanishing Elephant” show at Stage 42.
Now through October 29, everyone ages 8 and up can take an unforgettable journey with Jenny the elephant and her lifelong friend, Opu.
Through masterful puppetry, a story of friendship with a powerful, underpinning message about animal captivity and human rights comes to life. Produced by Cahoots NI (Cahoots), a Belfast-based theater company, “The Vanishing Elephant” is the latest iteration of the team’s enlightening on-stage performances for families.
Throughout the 70-minute show, audiences are treated to an enchanting tale that follows Jenny’s place in the world from infancy to adulthood. As she moves from her birthplace of India and experiences cruel treatment, she never loses sight of who she is and the person who has always cared for her.
The seamless movement is a masterclass in puppetry. Plus, the songs, set design and special effects help tell the story.
If you and your family enjoy theater, this is a show you won’t want to miss.
