Touring in 2023 – suitable for community spaces, libraries, nurseries.

A Raven visits a young girl. Why are the birds gathering? And what is the secret that Ada learns about her past?

Inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name, this tells the story of Ada who is visited by a Raven and thrust into a dream world of quests, feathers and a Glass Mountain. The audience is taken on a tiny world adventure over an extraordinary, felted landscape as Ada unlocks the secret the Raven is trying to tell her.

The entire story takes place within a suitcase.

The Seven Ravens is a tiny show for 5 to 7 year olds and their adults. It uses storytelling, object theatre, puppetry and poetry, all presented within a handcrafted mini-world made from recycled art materials, felted merino wool and other found objects.
