Odyssey Theatre brings in four special presentations of Rag n Bone Puppet Theatre's The Flying Canoe for kids and kids at heart in its
beautiful Strathcona Park location. A talking cat...the devil at a dance…a bear in a canoe…magical creatures… A fantastic and fun introduction to the culture, music and
language* of the first Francophones in Canada—the voyageurs, the loggers, the trappers and farm families—whose humour, imagination and courage helped found our
very own community. Featuring puppets, early film footage, traditional songs & music. The story of the Flying Canoe was first published in Canada in 1900 by Honoré
Beaugrand. This well-known French Canadian tale is the centrepiece of our play about the myths, legends, and daily life in early French Canada.
*mostly in English, with a soupçon of French.
