Ottawa Children’s Festival features top-rated performers from around the world.
Theatre, dance and interactive fun are all on the bill for kids, parents and teachers as the Ottawa International Children’s Festival returns for its 26th year. From June 1 to 5, LeBreton Flats will be transformed into an extravaganza of performing arts especially for kids.
“It’s very rare that theatre artists of this calibre with programming specifically for young children are in our city, so it’s not something to be missed,” said festival spokesperson Charlotte Juane.
This year’s program features an all-new roster of Canadian and international performers, including Sursault (Sherbrooke, Quebec), Trickster (Switzerland), Imago Theatre (USA), Stillmotion/Starcatchers (Scotland), and four groups from Italy, La Società della Civetta, Teatronecessario, Teatro delle Briciole and Compagnia Rodisio.
“They’re all very different from one another and for different ages of people,” Juane said, “So I’m just really excited to see each one of them myself because I’ve not seen any of these performances live myself.”.
Festival tickets are available through ticketweb.ca or by calling (613) 241-0009.
