Mimika, the internationally acclaimed children’s theatre is
to perform in Headingley on Saturday 3 November at the HEART Centre in Bennett Road in four special
performances of their show Landscapes,
presented by Headingley LitFest as part of our Between the Lines pre-March programme of events.
Landscapes is a wordless theatre presentation set inside a
beautiful white calico dome. It is an intimate, gentle and engaging evocation
of four areas of the natural world. Audiences travel from the Desert to the
Rainforest, from under the Sea to the South Pole. Using ingenuous crafted and
designed models, puppets and sets, special lighting effects and an immersive
sound track, Mimika take their audiences on a very special colourful and enchanting
journey. The show has been
described as by far one of the most mesmerising children’s theatre pieces, (Canada) and as a show that should enchant audiences of any age (USA) with
Mimika heralded by Kilkenny Arts Festival (Ireland) as one of the most
original theatre companies in Europe.
Performance times are 10.00am,
11.30am, 1.00pm and 2.30pm. Adults
£4.00, Children (under 16) £2.50. Children under ten should be accompanied by an appropriate number of adults
for groups of five and over.
Tickets are now on sale at HEART . As each performance is limited to twenty-five persons, you are advised to get yours soon.

This is the first time that Mimika has
had a home performance in the city for twenty-five years!
Bill and Jenny,
the inspired ‘do everything’ creators and animators of Mimika are really
looking forward ‘to coming home’ and sharing their work with their local
neighbourhoods.
While their current show Landscapes has enthralled and enchanted audiences elsewhere in the UK and world wide, for example in London, Dublin, Madrid, Toronto, Singapore and in countries such as Denmark, the USA and recently China, Jenny (pictured, with goose) told us: while travelling around the world and performing to audiences from different cultures is often thrilling and fabulous this chance to show the work to friends, neighbours and the local community will be special.
