A Port Theatre Spotlight Series Presentation

Theatre for Young Audiences


Production by Théâtre Motus

Motus creates original plays for young audiences and their families. The company works in puppetry arts and live music, building bridges and fostering free-flowing dialogue between cultures. With its resolutely global outlook, the company embraces and emphasizes collaboration with artists from everywhere, through national and international co-productions.

Would you like to experience the magical world of trees and feel the cool morning mist? Settle into mama bird’s cozy nest while she warms her luminous clutch of eggs. Plants, insects, and animals visit, accompanied by gentle melodies and rhythmic music. As evening falls, you’ll rest under a rising moon, stars, and shimmering Milky Way, gathering strength to spread your wings like a fledgling bird of light.

TREE: A World in Itself  is a multi-sensory, interactive universe enveloped in soft light, music, and silence, where five characters continually adapt to meet the needs of their audience.

In an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, the performance offers a ratio of one performing artist per child to facilitate numerous personalized interactions with audience members. Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult; a friend or a sibling is also permitted to attend.

Motus has created a special website to help young people and their families prepare for the show. To access it, click here.
