Aya and the Butterfly

Birdlife Productions are back with a new puppet and music show using exquisite puppetry, live music, lots of giant caterpillar fun!

'Aya and the Butterfly' is a heart-warming, joyful story about a little girl who finds happiness through her experience of the metamorphosis of the Monarch Butterfly. This work is based on the book of the same name by Ōtautahi/Christchurch based author, Dr Maysoon Salama, who wrote the story for her young Granddaughter Aya, and all the tamariki of Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Aya’s story encourages compassion and empathy for different cultures, and helps us all become part of an important movement of change towards living together in peace, and all the while featuring plenty of magical puppet moments, music and songs, and lots of joining in!

Designed for families and ideal for children aged 3 to 9 years.
