The Enchanted Cinema

  • Abney Park Trust Stoke Newington High Street London, England, N16 0LH United Kingdom (map)

We are delighted to launch a new collaboration with The Enchanted Cinema in the Delph Room.

On July 20th, we invite all ages to go wild with The Enchanted Cinema’s interactive show – Ghibli’s Forest featuring Where the Wild Things Are (the 1973 animation) and our favourite two scenes from My Neighbour Totoro (catbus & flying).

We start with a warm-up climb into the forest canopy using our hands and voices before kids and grown-ups team up with instruments – turtle drums, lyre harp, zaphir chimes, gong, bird flutes, ocarinas and bamboo canes – to create a live score to the mysterious island and inhabitants that Max encounters (including your narrating of the book), followed by Totoro!

3 - 4.15 – Where the Wild Things Are & Totoro (Interactive Cinema Event - All Ages)

4.15 – try out instruments.

4.30 - end
