| Event Name: | Theatre-Rites - Mojo |
| Description: | Set your imagination free with this celebratory show.
In an enchanting new presentation for families, a riot of dance, puppetry and music takes us on a spectacular journey through the magic and mayhem of growing up. Bursting with energy and evocative movement, objects come to life and characters discover their mojo, igniting visual transformations devised by the award-winning team of Arthur Pita and Sue Buckmaster. A dynamic ensemble, including pulsating percussionist Adriano Adewale and singer and trumpeter Leo Altarelli, enliven this extraordinary world.
Renowned for creating high-quality theatre for young people, Theatre-Rites makes a welcome return to the Barbican this Christmas after the success of The Thought That Counts in 2005.
