Created in 1970 by Paul Kirby and Adriana Kelder, the Caravan started as a one-wagon puppet show traveling around Vancouver Island. It grew to become a major theatrical organization with a twenty-five-person company of actors, musicians, artists and technicians, all touring in six large wagons pulled by a team of Clydesdales.
In 1993, the Caravan decided to switch to its own version of a showboat, building a 90 ft. tall ship to enticing and allure -- like a modern-day pied piper -- a non-traditional theatre audience. The mandate of the Caravan is to bring its original productions directly into the lives of people who seldom have the opportunity to experience the performing arts.
The Caravan proudly embodies the historical myths of the tall ship and horse-drawn worlds to perform avant-garde experimental theatre. We create works that showcase a mosaic of character, music, poetry, dance, aerial work, design artistry, and visual media. Within the upper trusses and the lower decks, as the aerialists cavort, a palette of surprises, colors, and mechanical transformations are engineered into this one-of-a-kind experimental rock opera.
