What to expect
Breaking The Ice is a playful and light-hearted show inspired by an unlikely friendship between a Husky and a polar bear.
Join us on a journey into the snow where music, shadows and projection will transport you to a place where polar bears and huskies really can be friends. Then watch as your child joins in with the adventure and takes their place on Team Polar Bear or Team Husky!
Set against the frosty backdrop of the Arctic, Breaking the Ice is a non-verbal piece which combines physical theatre, puppetry, interactive projection, animation and traditional Sami music.
