Aya and the Butterfly

Birdlife Productions presents Aya and the Butterfly

A child’s journey back to happiness with puppetry, music and more!

With the help of Creative New Zealand funding, award-winning children’s theatre company Birdlife Productions have created a new puppet and music show using exquisite puppetry, live music, lots of joining in and giant caterpillar fun, promising a poignant experience for children (especially aged 3 to 9) and their whānau.

Aya and the Butterfly is based on a children’s book by Ōtautahi/Christchurch author Dr Maysoon Salama, who wrote the story for her young granddaughter. This show encourages ‘letting go’ and laughter, resilience building and dealing with change, all metaphorically reflected by the life-cycle and metamorphosis of the Monarch Butterfly.

Aya is heading South!
