Amidst the turmoil, Chi meets Mizu, a young dragon facing his own separation from his family. This magical story of daring and adventure comes to life through body and shadow puppetry. Perfect for families, it’s a captivating coming-of-age tale that explores the bonds uniting us across generations.
Friday 1 November 6:15pm show is followed by a 15 minute Q&A.
For family packaging, children or concession pricing is available for all The Story of Chi performances.

“Our students absolutely loved seeing the creative development of The Story of Chi - over six months later and they still refer to the experience, it had a real impact on their understanding of live theatre."
"The Story of Chi is a universal story about generational connection, patience, and understanding told through the eyes of an imaginative and sensitive teen. The use of puppetry was exquisite and added so much depth and poignancy to the characters and story.“- Catherine Carter, Drama Teacher, Brighton Secondary School
