Taiwan Season: Whale, Where Are You Going? is a word-free family show from S. Production, receiving its European premiere at Downstairs as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set on a small island, it uses ingenious puppetry, nimble physical theatre and magical shadow play to tell the story of a budding friendship between a lonely old man and a naughty little boy. Lured by an elusive sea mammal, the unlikely pair embark on a voyage of discovery, hope and renewal. The show runs 50 minutes and is suitable for all ages from 0 upwards.
Why see this show?
A gentle, word-free adventure that works on every level — the puppetry and shadow play are magical enough for very young children, while the intergenerational friendship at the heart of the story gives adults something to savour too. A genuinely charming European premiere.
