Blue Theatre Company, in conjunction with Hayes Theatre Co, presents AKIO! This is a tale of a young boy who is sucked into a video game world. When the girl of his dreams, Harumi, is kidnapped by an evil villain, Akio must work to save her. Sadly, in his real life Akio faces ongoing bullying and uses video games to escape his reality.
AKIO! is Blue Theatre Company’s inaugural production and The Hayes’ first production for children. Aimed at children aged 8-13, it is also a production for those both older and younger. Blue Theatre Company are known for their advocation of mental health. This production is an inspiring, anti-bullying story of how children can react to bad external factors in their life.
AKIO! is an incredibly creative show, with beautiful choreography and a culture-rich performance.
The show combines acting, movement, choreography, sound and audio-visual design to tell the story. It is a marriage of cultures (with the help of Japanese mythology) to produce an exciting show. Babies and children under three are free for this school holiday production. Tickets are on sale now. (LB)
