“Salar” is a performance about life, connection, and the environment.

This 50-minute transformative theatre experience tells a 25,000 year old story centred around the life cycle of the Atlantic Salmon. Designed for the whole family, this company weaves together stories, myths and science through language, movement, live music and puppetry. As a NewWork, The Hatch debuted Salar at PuppetWorks and will tour Parks Canada locations in easten Canada, sharing this delightful experience.

We acknowledge the support of
the Canada Council for the Arts.
