Storytelling, myths and nature

At Just So Festival 2019, The Fabularium told a story all the way from Far East Asia with animal headpieces, puppets, original music and illuminations!

The Fabularium, Coventry-based theatre company, crafted the story of




Leapa the Arctic Hare; a tale of a furry fearless female, who brought the light back to the day and also made the night sky gloW.

Where English Fairytales wait to be awoken - Spring 2012 in Delamere Forest, Cheshire

"Wild Rumpus & the Forestry Commission invite you and your family to step into The Spellbound Forest. Twisting paths through the forest tell the twisting tales of English Fairy Tales through theatrical performance, music, visual art and dance."

"From the youngest to the oldest member of your family, lose yourself in the enchanted world of fairy tales, where men can become birds, tears become rivers, and children whirl at the elven ball."

"Can you build the perfect nest? Which bird are you most like? The impatient blackbird? The distractable cuckoo? Come and help us to build a giant birds nest, to stay on in the forest long after we have gone home. Hear the story of the magpie’s nest as you weave and twist."

"Can you complete the quest of the three heads of the well? Keep your wits about you as you meet characters and challenges along the path from this exciting tale of evil step-sisters, riddles and rhymes, and reaping what you sow."

"Step along this visual pathway of bird cages, swans, love and loss. Follow the tale of the Earl Mar’s daughter and her great love, coo-my-dove and behold spectacular and enchanting sights."

We helped develop a live rendition of "The Lost Words: A Spell Book" written by Robert Macfarlane with illustrations by Jackie Morris.
