Returning for its 31st year at LeBreton Flats Park and the Canadian War Museum, the Ottawa Children’s Festival brings with it new experiences and adventures to stir the imagination! Back with a new lineup, the festival offers a wide range of performances including theatre, music and puppetry to cater to the young and the young at heart!
Making its debut at this year’s festival is the award-winning The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer. An innovative performance, Alvin Sputnik blends mime, puppetry, live music and animation to present an exploration of the next frontier: the deep blue sea. In this brilliant adventure the seas have risen. What humans remain farm the roofs of skyscrapers, their hopes of escape to the stars dashes. Now, one man dives into the sea on a last-ditch mission to find a place for our species to start anew.

About the Show
“Alvin Sputnik, an endearing Australian solo show told in stick-figure animation and puppetry by Tim Watts, will remind you of a more innocent summer blockbuster. Its unlikely mix of environmental disaster, twee humor and cutie-pie whimsy makes it something akin to a theatrical “Wall-E.”
