The Home Inside
Written by Emma Rattenbury | Presented by Wonderlight Theatre Aotearoa
A language-lean work to empower children’s emotional resilience hitting the stage THIS JULY!
Winnie is a homebody.
She finds joy and escape in drawing, and playing with her soft-toy, Afi the monkey, often staying up into the early hours of the morning absorbed in her creativity.
One morning struggling with tiredness, frustration at her parents, and anxiety about going to school, Winnie’s emotions erupt into a tantrum, transforming her bedroom into a fantastical natural world.
Guided by elemental creatures—a wise Earth Spirit, playful Pīwakawaka, and a mysterious Tuna—Winnie navigates challenges that mirror her inner struggles. Each encounter teaches her new ways to manage her emotions, from breathing techniques to embracing change. As she overcomes obstacles, Winnie gains confidence and resilience, learning to self-regulate and find comfort within herself.
Underscored by music, puppetry, and striking visual design, The Home Inside is a heartwarming tale of emotional growth, self-discovery, and the power of nature to heal.
An exquisite new work for children from the team that brought you Wonderkind.
