Mika has lost their home. It’s too hot and the water has run dry. They must begin an epic adventure to find a safe place to call home.

The polar bear is all alone, it sits on a floating glacier waiting for its friends to return. As their two crumbling worlds collide, these two unlikely friends, find themselves on a journey to discover what life will be like after the storm. Their friendship teaches us about resilience, compassion, strength and finding comfort in the most unlikely of places.

​Mika and the polar bear will be a heartwarming, original story, created with and for children aged 4-11 years old and their families. This 1 hour show, is a joyful story of hope and friendship, full of twists, turns and fantastic interactive experiences, that reminds us how important love, connection and compassion is in a tumultuous world.
