Aanika’s Elephants is the tender story of a young Kenyan girl who meets a baby elephant, aptly named Little, at the orphanage where her father works. They grow together the way only two young girls can, even if one has a trunk. Their story is one of compassion, love, and conservation.
In a time when society is experiencing so much division, stress and anxiety, Aanika’s Elephants is a healing and tender reminder that family can be anything – a beloved family member or even a herd of elephants. The audience is invited to use their imaginations to fill in the large rattan-framed elephants, adorable baby elephants and people who are at times, represented by just hats and gloves. Using music, a wide variety of puppets and humor, Aanika’s Elephants entertains and educates audiences young and old on the plight of the elephant and our world.
Tryon Fine Arts Center is fortunate to present a series workshops and the play, which is in development and will make its Broadway debut next year, by a very talented mix of actors and puppeteers – many who are long-time stalwarts on Sesame Street and/or with Jim Henson puppeteers including Aanika’s Elephants creator Annie Evans, a writer and winner of 13 Emmy Awards for Sesame Street, Pam Arciero, a puppeteer with Sesame Street and the Muppets for more than 35 years, and Martin P. Robinson who has played Mr. Snuffleupagus on Sesame Street for more than 41 years.
