Tashi has done it again! Up to his old tricks and adventures, Tashi comes up against some of his biggest challenges in Tashi, the Swan and the Dragon and Tashi and the Mountain of White Tigers. Imaginary Theatre bring the magic of this lovable character back to life once again at Brisbane Powerhouse from 2 – 12 July for Powerkidz.
Back by popular demand, Brisbane-based children’s theatre company Imaginary Theatre bring energy and imagination to these much loved stories by writer Anna Fienberg. Each story is a different mini adventure for Tashi and his audience of 4 – 8 year olds.
If you have not yet been whisked into Tashi’s magical world of storytelling, you have been missing out! A favourite of Australian kids, Tashi’s stories draw on a wide range of traditional tales from all over the world. The stories are funny, exciting, and sometimes spooky, have a good message about right and wrong, and really show how joyful storytelling can be. Well…Tashi does tell the best stories ever!
Kids and parents will hear about how Tashi arrived here in Australia, in the very first story of the series Tashi, the Swan and the Dragon. Dive into a magical world of Swans, Warlords and Dragons where there are always huge and unexpected problems, but none that are ever to big to be solved with a good dose of humour, ingenuity and wit.
The tricks, traps and triumphs continue in Tashi and the Mountain of White Tigers, when the wicked Baron stirs up some serious trouble in the village. This time he's trying to cheat Tashi's Aunty out of the home she has lived in all her life. As usual, Tashi comes to the rescue by thinking of a clever idea, but it means he will have to face his worst fear. However, if he can do it he will help not just his favourite aunty, but the whole village as well!
Imaginary Theatre has performed their collection of Tashi stories in seasons at the Brisbane Powerhouse since 2004. Last years performances were even attended by writer Anna Fienberg herself! Company member Thom Browning is delighted that Tashi has continued to inspire and excite audiences in Brisbane.
“The popularity of the Tashi performances has definitely grown over time, and our audiences continue to turn up in droves to check out the latest stories. It is just phenomenal that we have been able to stage Tashi at Brisbane Powerhouse on a regular basis, as we have developed a large group of very loyal fans, as well as continually having a stream of new audiences come through.”
