Tchocolatl

Pack your bags! The cute and clumsy Pa the Traveller Clown takes you on an interactive, fun and educational journey around the globe in search of the origins of one of the world’s favourite treats - chocolate. What begins as a playful curiosity about where chocolate comes from, how it is produced and how it smells unfolds into a collaborative adventure that travels from Switzerland to Mexico, Spain to Australia.

The show invites curiosity about cultures and one another through laughter, play, and participation. Pa’s positive energy leaves young and old smiling long after the show ends. The show has successfully toured in Europe, NSW and will debut now in Adelaide.

“I just had the best time, and watching my boys so engaged was amazing.” - Annika, St. Ives Prep. School

"My daughter was so inspired." - Kate

“My 7-year-old daughter loved it! Pa was so funny that it made me forget everything, and I had as much fun as the little kids.” - Veronika
