Presented by Larrikin Puppets
A colourful, exciting musical variety show celebrating cultural diversity
Hosted by Melek and Zac, stars of the Australian children’s book series “Hijabi Girl”, this colourful, exciting musical puppet variety stage show is for ages 5-9 and their families. It features a fun, colourful, diverse cast of Muppet-style puppet characters performing skits, jokes, catchy original songs (as heard on Spotify and Apple Music) and live interaction with the audience.
Show stoppers include:
- A song about school playtime performed by two food puppets: a Turkish Kebab and a plate of Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls.
- A song performed by Melek, a Turkish Muslim girl puppet who wears a hijab and wants to start her own all-girls Aussie Rules football team – and DOESN’T want to dress as Little Red Riding Hood in the Book Week Parade.
- A Sicilian language lesson, including a discussion about endangered languages.
- An AFL football puppet.
- A teacher rod puppet (large glasses).
- A song about how everyone has different interests and skills, performed by Tien, a Vietnamese girl puppet, with a chorus of singing pencil puppets.
- A reading of an excerpt from “Hijabi Girl: Making Friends”, a children’s book by prolific Australian author Hazel Edwards OAM and Turkish-Australian Muslim co-author Ozge Alkan, and illustrated by Serena Geddes.
