A collaboration between Storyteller Marion Leeper and artist Tonka Uzu.

Full details and booking. Presented as part of the Platforma Festival (October 2025) produced by Counterpoints Arts.

Let storyteller Marion Leeper and illustrator Tonka Uzu take you on a timeless journey to a remote atoll in the Pacific ocean to meet Sky Mother and her nine splendid sons. What are they arguing about and how will they settle the quarrel?

As the brothers race across the water, watch the pictures come alive on a big screen as Tonka draws in response to this story from the Marshall Islands.

And then: what next?  Can you help tell the story of their next quest of finding their way safely to a new home? How would you solve the pressing real-world problems pictured in this centuries-old story?

For ages 4+ (based on interest of subject matter) but all welcome
Duration: 40-60 minutes (Shows at 11.30am and 2pm)

Digital live drawing meets the oral storytelling tradition in this engaging and thought-provoking audio-visual performance which will touch a chord in the heart of any adventurers in the audience. An event for adults and children with interactive elements to engage in together on equal terms.
