As autumn closes in, the Kuaka (Bar-tailed Godwits) take flight to begin their long migration from New Zealand to Alaska, striving to live out their life cycle to its fullest. The success of this mission relies on gritty determination and their trust in some kind of ‘inner map’ that guides them to their ‘treasure’ – the northern breeding grounds that assure them of continued life. This process is nothing short of a miracle and watching them take to the sky in awe is Jack-the-Everyman! As he sets out on a journey of his own to seek his ‘treasure’, he looks up to the sky and makes a quiet wish that he will be able to find his own wings.
A comic, touching, educational and environmental story that uses different scales of puppetry, live song and storytelling,
together with exquisitely hand-crafted sets and puppets, melded with a ‘real time’ lecture with slides from an ardent bird-lover!
Suitable for ages 5 to 9.
