FOX

“Fly, Dog, Fly! I will be your missing eye, and you will be my wings.”

Adapted from the book by Margaret Wild and Ron Brooks

After a terrible bushfire an injured Magpie and Dog form an unexpected friendship, sharing a deep bond, until into their midst a Fox arrives.

This thrilling fusion of puppetry and dance will take you on a journey through scorched scrubland and ochre deserts where friendships will be tested, and the true meaning of loyalty and companionship will be discovered.

Fox, Dog and Magpie’s timeless story will leave you with questions that may take a lifetime to answer…
