Event Details

Save the Ice Creams. Save the World!

Siblings Bonnie and Nikau have been promised a special treat, ice creams! But it’s a hot day and on the way home the ice creams begin to melt…

Their journey home becomes an epic adventure that transforms important issues around environmental change into a double scoop of delight. Sprinkled with aerial acrobatics, contortion, ice cream juggling and more, the siblings work their way through environmental issues to get the ice cream safely home for the whānau.

Brought to you by Auckland’s largest Circus Theatre company, The Dust Palace, children and families delight in this silly, fun and sweet story told through the wonders of circus.

Suitable for children aged 3-8 and their families. Ticket includes an illustrated PDF storybook to help children prepare for or reflect on the story.
