'The Princess of the Rainforest'
The Princess is the guardian of the forest, is a fusion between a fairy, a bird and a princess, inspired by the people from the lost tribes of the Amazonian jungle in South America, our princess is made from all things recycled. A colourful and bright array of animals and creatures brought to life as puppets tell the story of the rainforest; what it also does is utilise the idea of recycling, that everything that the child sees is made from something else, lessons that can be learned early and be seen as fun, boundless pleasure that be carried on at home.
To make children care about the world around them is significant, to let their unbound imagination flourish in a way that sees them appreciate theatre as part of the solution, that is the greatest of gifts that an actor or entertainer can bestow; and in Cusan Theatre ’ The Princess of the Rainforest, that sense of power is handed to the children who attend in such a way that it is more than heartening to witness.
Duration of show: 30 minutes.

‘The Boy Who Found His Smile’ at St Magnus International Festival.
An Enchanting, magical show for children…an enchanting, emotional journey. The Boy Who Found his Smile, captivated it’s audience at the Orkney Theatre in Kirkwall . Inspired by Latin American culture, this short theatrical performance was entirely without words, instead using music, physical movement and visual cues to convey the events. Colombian puppeteer and performer Tanya Cusan-Espinosa gave an enchanting performance as the young boy, managing to convey emotion entirely through her theatrical actions. Her costume as the boy was simple- a large papier- mache mask/head (made by Alan Pergusey) and striped shirt. The mask played an important role throughout the show. It was a magical show that captured the imagination of all the audience…The Orcadian @ St Magnus International Festival.

"The performance of the Boy was full of memorable moments! The ‘special effects’ were spell binding and watching the children’s faces was a joy! just a very lovely experience for everyone, the whole range of emotions were visible an the children’s faces from fear (for some) to sheer delight!! Thanks to all concern"
