About Ocean Commotion!

ROGER JENKINS returns to tell more delightful traditional stories bilingually (English/French) in tandem with Justine Devisse Mezrani from northern France and two musicians from Our Music School.

The 60-minute performance features three ocean-themed stories, presented in conjunction with the Ocean: Diving into the unknown exhibition. Two stories are from Japan – The Little Crab and the hugely popular Urashima Taro.  The final tale is Surf War, a highly interactive and comically cacophonous conservation confrontation, from the Marshall Islands in the South Pacific.

The stories celebrate kindness, sharing, respect for others, and the fact that even though we may be little (or very young) we can still do good!

Those who have seen Roger’s previous performances at the Alliance -Le Chat Botté (2019), The Legend of Wild Goose Lake (2023) and The Mountain That Loved a Bird (2024) have been enthralled by the combination of interactive storytelling, theatre, music and even puppets. The stories are told in a visual way, with dialogue that enables monolingual members of the audience to understand each story.
