This week, the Onatti Theatre Company delighted pupils in Years 3-6 with a captivating French play, Ticket Pour L’Espace. The story followed a young man named Jack, who won a competition to travel into space. However, there was a twist—everyone on the spaceship only spoke French. Jack had to navigate his interstellar adventure relying on his basic language skills and expressive actions.
This demonstrated to the children that communication in another language is possible, even at a basic level, and that people can be empathetic. The play was extremely funny and engaging, with the actors bringing pupils on stage to participate and join in from the audience, making it an enjoyable experience for all.
