Seven Tears of the Selkie is the Fetch Theatre’s new show. It features The Fetch’s unique style of visual, non-word based theatre with original music, beautiful puppetry and a magical story. It takes its inspiration from the many tales of Selkies passed down in folklore.
Funny, poignant, moving and beautiful, the story transports audiences as they engage with the puppets and take an emotional journey with them. The show is performed by one puppeteer who skilfully animates various spectacular puppets and props in order to create a simple but unforgettable story.

​

Technically simple, this 60 minute show will both mesmerize and awaken audiences. Two shows at the same venue can be presented in one day or, the performer can deliver one performance and a workshop. 

This performance is a family show suitable for adults and children 5 years+, it will enchant audiences of all ages. The show can be adapted to visit a variety of venues and will be accessible to ESL audiences.

Workshops: Performances can be accompanied by a workshop. 

The Fetch can offer a choice of:
● Bunraku puppetry skills
● Making seal headdresses
