A rambunctious modern fable
Welcome to the island of Helium where Betsy lives with her balloon-factory-owning family.
They’re cheerful, a bit money-mad and life is on the up. But when the world turns against balloons, their world pops and Betsy must start a new life in a faraway city with her eccentric uncle, Hercules Snark, an inventor of mostly half-finished things.
Unfortunately, Snark has problems of his own. In his city, it never stops raining. The streets are flooding. And things, quite literally, are starting to sink.
Betsy Balloon is a rambunctious modern fable presented with original music and illustration based on a story by Bill Manhire.
Betsy Balloon and the Very Great Terrible Flood is part of Brisbane Festival.
