The English Touring Opera are back at Exeter Library with a brand new accessible theatre show created for SEN and neurodiverse children & their families
About the show
Mimi is lonely.
Everyone at her school has something unique that expresses who they are: soft lemur tails or beautiful golden wings. Everyone, that is, apart from Mimi. Until one day, she befriends a boy called Sonni and the most incredible thing happens... she sprouts donkey ears!
Overjoyed with her new friend, Mimi sets off on a quest around the school to become as cool as she can. But as she's drawn into all things shiny, is being popular all it seems?
Co-created with students at Briarwood School in Bristol, Mimi and the Golden Touch is a retelling of the Greek myth of King Midas, exploring friendship, belonging and the power of being oneself. Written by Malaika Kegode (The Colour of Dinosaurs), composed by Vahan Salorian, directed by Lucy Bradley and designed by Sascha Gilmour, Mimi and the Golden Touch will tour SEND schools and libraries this Autumn.
Designed with SEN audiences and younger audiences in mind. But all are welcome
This show will take place in the Children's Library on the ground floor, which is fully accessible. The performance will last for up to 60mins, and is relaxed, meaning that audiences are welcome (and encouraged) to make noise, get up, move about and do what they need to feel comfortable
The ETO have been bringing incredible, magical & high quality shows to our Library for years. If you enjoyed The Great Stink, The Wellies, or Ada and the Code Crusaders... you'll love this! (even if you think that opera isn't for you)
