Follow Mother Deer on her quest to bring the sunshine back to the forest in this sensory feast of storytelling full of mischief, wonder and magic.

Enjoy this beautiful, playful show that captures the imagination and inspires us to think about our environment, animals and our place in the natural world. Based on an ancient Northern European Folk tale about the Winter Solstice, Mother Deer blends aerial acrobatics, dance, sensory theatre, and live sound to celebrate the quiet power of nature and the cycles that hold us.
