Butterflies

“I’ve got that funny feeling again… it’s a good thing right?”

Three friends embark on an exciting adventure to chase their butterflies away.  They cross new seas to unchartered lands, on a journey filled with discovery.  The only trouble is they’re are all a bit worried about it.

 During their voyage the group ride the waves, battle the storms and face their fears, before reaching dry land braver than ever before.

Join our intrepid characters as they step into the unknown in an uplifting tale of friendship, courage and facing your fears, told using innovative staging, breathtaking physicality, touching humour and a specially commissioned musical score.

Butterflies is a Tangled Feet and Half Moon co-production.

Suitable for ages 3-8

Reviews & Press

I brought my 5 and 3 year old to see Butterflies yesterday. They both absolutely loved it but my 5 years old especially. He is quite sensitive and sometimes nervous about doing new things, especially since Covid. We talked a lot after about it and he has been practicing making a butterfly with his hands. I hope it is now a tool he can use going forward. It was a wonderful performance and so refreshing to see something a bit different for children - such a great message. The three performers were brilliant. Thank you.

Butterflies shines a light on the challenging circumstances many young people are living in. As someone who has had anxiety for as long as I can remember – certainly from the age of the young audience sat around me, captivated by the show – seeing Butterflies 20 years ago would have been a truly transformative experience, though watching it now is powerful enough.
