Wishhh!
“Wishhh! Where could I go...who could I be...?”
It’s up to you.
It’s up to us.
Grab your suitcases and join Pocketfool in creating a theatrical journey like no other.
“Wishhh!” is a is a wacky, hands-on theatre experience for preschool children and their families in which they are immersed in an adventure through music, art and imaginative play. From the moment the audience enters the space they are creating the play with Pocketfool by drawing, transforming washing on a hills hoist into a sail, playing in a jug band, and building a place of their own out of an amazing transformable set by artist Geoffrey Ricardo.
"Wishhh!" takes children on an unpredictable voyage, touching on the themes of immigration, adventure, discovery and the importance of belonging. It is also about imaginative play - the kind of transformative play that takes place in the back yard.
"Wishhh!" is an inspiring family experience for arts festivals, children's festivals and community festivals.
