DUCK-LOOPS Hydra Performing Arts Festival 2026

Show Description: 

DUCK is a 45 minute absurd musical exploring interpersonal sharing and community building while inviting healing and restoration. It is experimental theatre incorporating musicians, interviews, dance, games, and audience participation into a grand search for the famous Magical Duck! 

Join us for Kamloops’ own DUCK-LOOPS! A participatory theatre event that needs your help to fly! NAV leads a long form improv story from the DUCK universe with space for games, music, and you! Come participate as a character in the show, or as a part of the band! To be part of the band all you need is one thing: An instrument! To play a character and have a role on stage, all you need are two things: A name, and some sort of costume piece or prop! It’s not supposed to be good, it is supposed to be fun! (Pre-written characters from the story line are also available for you to embody).

On November 22 there will be an open "rehearsal" for anyone who wants to test the waters and know more of what to expect on our show days the following weekend. No one will be forced to play, and the safe enjoyment of everyone is our top priority. The show is for everyone, but we suggest a PG rating to maintain a freedom of expression for our participants. Audience members who just want to witness the fun from a safe non-participatory vantage point are very welcome and encouraged to come! (The audience is a most vital of roles). Come add your special essence to the chaos of DUCK! We want you here!

Length: 45 mins
