School Holiday Kids Show – Tricket the Robot

Trinket is the story of an inventor, Dr. Doovalacky who sets out to build a robot who will have the ability to learn new things, with the help of his assistant, Gizmo, a green caterpillar.

Trinket the Robot comes to life but he soon wants more. He wants to know what it is to be human; he wants to become “real.” The children must help him to learn about the world.

Things quickly start to get complicated, and Dr. Doovalacky finds himself losing control of his creation. Trinket learns that to become human is to not only feel wonder and joy, but also to know anger and fear, and the sadness of saying goodbye to someone when you’re not ready to.

Trinket the Robot is an interactive puppet show, based on the tale of Pinocchio, which explores emotions and offers strategies to children to understand different feelings.

“It was good to see the Robot cry. Sometimes I cry too. It was good when the Robot got sad and then got happy again. It makes me feel like when I get sad, I can get happy again too.” - 4 Year Old, Seymour
