Lil­liput Chil­dren's The­atre will host a "mag­i­cal jour­ney in po­et­ry" as it tells the sto­ry of the uni­verse with star-i.

This myth­i­cal ad­ven­ture in song and dance opens on May 16 at Queen's Hall from 7.30 pm at Queen's Hall, with shows night­ly at 5.30 pm un­til May 18.

Weav­ing a rhyth­mic tale as seen through the cos­mos, spir­its, an­i­mals and plants, No­ble Dou­glas's vet­er­an chil­dren's the­atre com­pa­ny takes on its lat­est awe in­spir­ing pro­duc­tion, Said a re­lease from the com­pa­ny.

"Star-i promis­es to take us on a jour­ney through space and time in a po­et­ic myth­ic sto­ry­telling form in­cor­po­rat­ing move­ment, mu­sic and of course, cos­tum­ing and the cre­ative in­put of all the beau­ti­ful, blessed chil­dren," shared Lil­liput's dra­ma di­rec­tor, Wen­dell Man­war­ren.

This year's pro­duc­tion was in­spired by the cre­ative con­cepts of for­mer Lil­liput­ian, Ay­o­d­hya Ou­ditt, in Lil­liput's 2014 Kid­dies Car­ni­val por­tray­al, star-i. In his first year as Lil­liput's cos­tume de­sign­er, Ou­ditt pre­sent­ed his in­ter­pre­ta­tion of mythol­o­gy with cos­tumes that de­pict­ed var­i­ous el­e­ments of the uni­verse.

Through jour­nal­ing and game play ex­e­cut­ed un­der the di­rec­tion of Man­war­ren and dra­ma tu­tors, El­isha Efua Bar­tels and Tonya Evans, the young thes­pi­ans were charged with trans­lat­ing Ou­ditt's cre­ative vi­sion in­to a script craft­ed by their cre­ative minds.

Liliput The­atre's i-star takes place on May 16 at 7.30 pm, May 17 at 5.30 pm and May 18 at 5.30 pm at Queen's Hall, St Ann's, Port of Spain.

Tick­ets are priced at $120 and are avail­able at Cros­by's Mu­sic Cen­tre, St James; from Lil­liput stu­dents and at the Queen's Hall Box Of­fice.
