In a spell-kissed Alaskan forest, where silver mist drifts through cedar boughs and salmon shimmer like living jewels, a family of bears embarks on a journey of heart and understanding. Their world is stirred by a golden-haired wanderer, whose unexpected trespass blossoms into a lesson of respect, kindness, and forgiveness—guided in part by her watchful bald eagle companion and the wisdom of the wild itself. What begins in conflict unfolds into a shared purpose, where every creature, great or small, finds its voice in harmony.
On stage, hand-carved wooden marionettes bring this tale to life with enchanting rhymes, gleeful alliterations, and playful turns of phrase that both amuse and enlighten. The painted backdrop glows with the grandeur of Southeast Alaska—misty fjords, towering totems, and evergreen canopies glowing in magical color and authenticity.
This is more than a story—it is a living tapestry where imagination entwines with ecology, geography, biology, history, and the universal call for respect and justice. It is at once a fairytale and a reflection, reminding us that even in the wildest of forests, the most enduring magic is kindness.
The magical melodies that flutter through this tale are gifts from the mischievous minstrel Adrian von Ziegler, spun from the twinkling treasures of his Celtic Collection. With a wink and a nod, these tunes frolic here by his kindly permission.
