Part of Dazed New World Festival 2020

Presented by Elephant Talk Theatre

Little one my dear,
You look so lost,
You’ve made your way here,
But at what cost?

All the adults say Percy has gone, that he is in a better place. But Phoebe thinks she knows different.

Phoebe travels through a magical portal to a world where she must confront dancing tricksters and outsmart rhythmic doctors, journeying from her bedroom to the bottom of the ocean. All in an attempt to achieve the impossible: ‘Finding Percy Erebus’.

Carrying an impossibly heavy briefcase, Phoebe not only faces her fears but accepts them. Making everything feel a little lighter.

"'Finding Percy Erebus' is a feast for the imagination: surprising, intriguing and playful storytelling at its best" - Dr. Nicola Abraham

This bittersweet adventure follows the journey of a child shortly after the death of her close friend, Percy. Elephant Talk’s striking original score, clowning, and puppetry guide the audience on an allegorical journey of grief through the eyes of a child.

Elephant Talk creates pieces of children’s theatre and workshops that explore and open conversations around sensitive topics. We address the elephant in the room.
