The Libravian
Wednesday, June 5, 2024
Nanaimo Harbourfront Library
Suitable for children ages 7+
This 40-minute show explores themes of courage and identity, celebrating brilliant books and diverse stories through big hearted physical comedy.
Meet Lynn, a lovable ‘libravian’ minding her own business until the Ben the Book Tour guide gets laryngitis and suddenly, she is doing the one thing she said she’d never do again!
In The LIBRAVIAN, audiences are invited on a journey through literature led by Lynn who chats with audiences and lip syncs to original audiobook soundscapes that immerse the audiences in the world of each book, all written by Irish authors around the theme of bravery. This unique performance, with playful costume and intricate sound design, reinvigorates civic spaces and delights young audiences, families, and schools with a celebration of literature, physical theatre, and diverse stories.
This event is a collaboration between The Port Theatre Society and Vancouver Island Regional Library. Through these partnerships, local communities benefit from the creative use of spaces for live performances, opening the doors for children and families to experience the arts.
