A show, picture book and a Theatrical Augmented Reality Experience

 

 

What would you do if you moved to a strange new city? All your friends are far away, your new house smells weird, and it rains all the time?!

 

Kit takes matters into his own hands, when one night, while drawing to pass the time, the swirls and whirls on his page giggle into a life of their own, and a very unusual adventure unfolds! Join Soap Soup Theatre on their most riotous, colourful adventure of all - where a bedroom becomes a forest, a school turns into a solar system and the drawings in your bag have a life of their own!

 

A story about the magic of creativity.

 

Devised by one of Bristol’s leading theatre makers for family audiences, and based on a brand new book by Artistic Director Tomasin Cuthbert. Soap Soup Theatre combines high quality children’s theatre with the magic of projection mapping, bringing the vibrant illustrations from the book to life. An unmissable Theatre experience for the whole family.

The Minny Stynker project is a Picture Book, A theatre show and a Theatrical Augmented Reality Experience.

 

The 3 offerings are for everyone, but the AR experience is particularly for families caring for children with long term illness, and families who don’t feel comfortable in traditional theatre settings.

 

The Minny Stynker AR Experience is a picture book, when you pop on your headphones and look through your phone's camera using the App, the book comes to life! It is experienced like an audiobook, an animation and a video game combined. Illustrations move, characters talk, and magical things appear around you as you look through your device. The AR experience will be enjoyed in hospitals, care and hospice settings, as well as at home.

 

The show will be performed at mid scale venues nationally. The solo version will tour to community settings like libraries, schools and community centres.

 

Minny Stynker premiered at Tobacco Factory Theatres, Bristol in May 2024
