Melody and the Fishes is a puppet play that tells the tale of a Newfoundland woman coming home to her roots.
Joining Skipper as crew on his fishing boat, Melody is lost overboard. In the ocean, she transforms into a cod fish and with the help of the Fishimagician and Caitlin the Caplin, tries to find her way home.
Dealing with the ravages of overfishing, drilling in sensitive environments, and climate change, Melody and the Fishes takes you on a deep journey beneath the seas.
This event is suitable for all ages. Admission is free, but reservations are required.
Melody and the Fishes is supported by Future Ocean and Coastal Infrastructures {FOCI), a project of the Ocean Frontier Institute funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund. This performance is also funded by Memorial University's Johnson Geo Centre through their Science in the Arts series.
