Event Description

PUPPETS FOR PEACE: WALK IN OUR PARADE to GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
The 3rd annual Theatre Inconnu’s PUPPETS FOR PEACE CELEBRATION is proud to headline The Roy Henry Vickers PEACE DANCER Project as part of a weekend of fun workshops, activities and performances celebrating puppets, people of all ages, and the United Nations International Day of Peace.

Indigenous Peoples are North America’s first puppeteers, dating beyond Canada’s 150 years, by some 12,000 years. The PEACE DANCER Project is a collaboration between acclaimed First Nations artist/storyteller Roy Henry Vickers and the Puppets for Peace Team. Artworks of the Tsimshian Nation flood tale book, PEACE DANCER, written by Mr. Vickers and Robert Budd, are enlarged into giant puppets and banners, to illustrate the tale as Mr. Vickers weaves the telling on the lawns of Government House on Sunday, September 24th.

The program featuring puppeteer Tim Gosley’s Little Yellow Guy as MC, includes special guests Lt. Governor Her Honour Judith Guichon and Songhees Elder, Joan Morris. The ever-energetic grandpa Rick Scott will tear up Government House’s turf with keyboardist Nico Rhodes and an assortment of giant puppets offering fun, music and celebration for all ages.
PARADE DAY - launched by a Chinese Lion demonstration and led by TeslaTours’ electric car, includes more workshops, First Nations Blessing, opening fanfare with the Peace Pole Ceremony and the Raging Grannies.  Join in the award-winning Giant Puppet Parade for Peace from Porter Park to Government House and enjoy the lively performances.
