Step into the enchanting world of Mowgli and the wild at the Living Arts Centre on February 16, 2026, for Jungle Book, presented by A saugaLIVE. This original adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories brings the Indian jungle to life through a unique fusion of video projection, shadow play, and original music. Designed to captivate audiences of all ages, the performance explores the adventures of Mowgli alongside wolves, tigers, and elephants, before transporting viewers into reflections of our own modern urban jungle.

Unlike any previous Jungle Book adaptations, this production is entirely original. Written and directed by Craig Francis and Rick Miller, the show reimagines Kipling’s works through fresh storytelling, innovative visuals, and an evocative musical score. Audiences can expect a fully immersive theatrical experience that examines themes of belonging, identity, and our intricate relationships with the animal kingdom. This is not Disney’s Jungle Book; it does not include songs or imagery from any other adaptations, offering an entirely new perspective on a classic tale.

A Kidoons and WYRD production, created in association with The 20K Collective, Jungle Book is perfect for families looking for a theatre experience that is both imaginative and thought-provoking. Children will be mesmerised by the inventive staging, while adults will appreciate the depth and creativity woven throughout the narrative. From the playful interactions with jungle creatures to the more contemplative moments reflecting on community and survival, the show promises an unforgettable journey through storytelling and spectacle.

In addition to the performance, the Living Arts Centre will host a series of FREE drop-in creative activities for children and families. Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise their child(ren) during all program activities, making it a fully family-friendly event that encourages artistic exploration beyond the stage.

Whether you’re introducing young audiences to the magic of theatre or seeking a fresh, visually striking adaptation of a beloved classic, Jungle Book at the Living Arts Centre offers a captivating, multi-sensory experience. Don’t miss this chance to see Mowgli’s world reimagined with originality, heart, and creativity.
