Set some time in a magical future, when ‘The Last Zoo in the World’ is the only place to see many of earth’s animals; a young girl Zia and the 'King of the World' set out together to travel across land and sea in the search for Nanuk, the Polar Bear. The King has a dream of being able to Hip-Hop on ice without slipping and Nanuk is the only one who can help him! The question is, how will they get all the way from Adelaide to the North Pole? And what if too much ice has melted and there are no Polar Bears left?

With the questionable assistance of an Aussie yellow crested cockatoo; a dizzy honeycomb cowfish; a proud, lazy lion and a wise old albatross; Zia and the King find what they’re looking for and learn some important lessons along the way.

The Search for Nanuk is a fantastical play for 4 – 11 year olds. It is a dynamic and hilarious story about the effects of global warming on the icecaps of the Arctic and the survival of the Polar Bear. It is also a story about friendship and learning to listen to others. Physical extravagance, visual vibrancy, comedic fantasy and entrancing soundscapes unite in Gaia's work to bring the magic of theatre to our future generation.

The Search for Nanuk is a must see for young audiences. Visit www.adelaidefringe.com.au for ticket details and more info.
