About this event

We are delighted to welcome Branar back, this festive season, to The Ark with their gorgeous sell-out show How To Catch a Star. Once there was a boy who was always looking up. He dreamt of having a star as a friend. This is the story of his adventure

Based on the beloved book by award-winning Irish author Oliver Jeffers, Branar are proud to present How to Catch a Star.

This adaptation combines puppetry by Neasa Ní Chuanaigh & Cillian O Donnachadha with stunning puppets by Suse Reibisch. With a magical original score by Colm Mac Con Iomaire and directed by Marc Mac Lochlainn. Branar’s signature storytelling creates a show which reminds us all to follow our dreams.

This is a non-verbal show.
