Mika has lost their home. It’s too hot and the water has run dry. They must begin an epic adventure to find a safe place to call home. The polar bear is all alone, it sits on a floating glacier waiting for its friends to return. As their two crumbling worlds collide, these two unlikely friends, find themselves on a journey to discover what life will be like after the storm. Their friendship teaches us about resilience, compassion, strength and finding comfort in the most unlikely of places.
Mika and the polar bear will be a heartwarming, original story, created with and for children aged 4-11 years old and their families. This 1 hour show, is a joyful story of hope and friendship, full of twists, turns and fantastic interactive experiences, that reminds us how important love, connection and compassion is in a tumultuous world.
