THE FLYING CANOE is an interactive audio experience for families to do together that will transport them to the islands of Kiribati.

Featuring an oceanic soundscape that includes traditional Kiribati songs, families will transform their lounge room into a world of myth and wonder.

Written by Marita Davies and featuring performances and artwork by artists from the Kiribati diaspora, ‘The Flying Canoe’ is the follow up work to Threshold's internationally acclaimed ‘Mountain Goat Mountain’.

So jump on board ‘The Flying Canoe’ and see the world differently on Island time.

Know a family who could use an adventure?

Nei Kinoia comes from a long line of Magic Spinners, but on the night she was supposed to become one herself, she got distracted - as many Kiribati people do -  singing in the Frangipani tree.

Now she plans to turn back time and trick the spirits of Neiko into giving her their blessing to join her ancestors in spinning magic!
