This late addition to the festival (you’ll find it in the online listings but not the printed program) follows the adventures of two rabbits who search for a hidden carrot patch. It’s aimed at younger children.
Though there’s not a lot of narrative, the show is amiably performed by Emma Letki and writer/director Kelly Morden, dancers whose energetic movements hold the small audience’s attention.
The use of cartoon-like projections and a film of real rabbits near the end help keep the children involved in a production that deals with feelings, family and a touch of potential but never-realized tragedy near the end.
