Connections: appreciating nature; celebrating cultural diversity; our story, our history
Spirited Shizu and her serious father struggle to appreciate each other until the day she hides in her father’s suitcase and travels secretly to his most dangerous destination …The North. Featuring puppets, real wildlife footage projections, highly physical storytelling and an original score, Otosan is based on playwright Shizuka Kai’s real life experiences of trying to connect with her father, a dedicated wildlife documentary videographer.
Recommended for up to Grade 5
Approximate running time: 45 minutes plus Q&A
