The Dreaming Space’s colorful and spectacular entertainment is the perfect way to bring to life atmosphere, culture & themes at your event. Our performances totally captivate & enthral kids along with the inner child in every adult! The Dreaming Space can create for you on an intimate or grand scale, choosing from the complete festival package or parts of it.
The Whales Tale
An environmental tale to warm the heart, with reflections about the consequences of our actions. It has been forecast that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than fish. The Whale’s Tale is a rollicking journey that will leave your children wanting to make a difference. A show for all ages.
