The Bear that Wasn't 

A curious young cub is accidentally swept into a bustling robot-run factory after being mistaken for a new worker. Struggling to keep up with the mechanical routines, the cub's playful instincts begin to disrupt the system.

​

This highly visual story is brought to life through hand carved wooden marionettes, hand-painted sets and original music, Full of humour and striking imagery, the piece explores identity, the resilience of nature, and what happens when imagination meets a world of rules. Inspired by the children's book of the same name by Frank Tashlin.
