Hijabi Girl: A Musical Puppet Show is a colourful and thought-provoking theatre production by Larrikin Puppets for ages 6-9 based on the children’s book Hijabi Girl by Australian author Hazel Edwards OAM and Turkish-Australian Muslim co-author, Ozge Alkan. Featuring colourful Muppet-style puppetry rarely experienced live, the production explores diverse cultures within Australian schools.
With themes around diversity, identity, anti-bullying and creative problem solving, the show is a celebration of multicultural Australia and a statement about acceptance, and coping successfully with being different.
Larrikin Puppets (Brett Hansen and Elissa Jenkins) have written an original script and original songs based on the book. For authenticity, the main puppet cast are voiced by nine Queensland child actors and singers aged 9-12. Music producer Dylan Kreis recorded and mixed the voice and song recordings.
