The amazing true story of how a wild polar bear made friends with a husky is the inspiration behind an interactive show for children.

Unicorn Theatre’s Breaking the Ice tells the true story of the unlikely friendship between the two animals, inspired by a video on YouTube, where the pair are seen frolicking in the snow and nuzzling each other.

It is at the Gulbenkian in Canterbury on Saturday, January 14 and Sunday, January 15, at 1pm and 3pm.

Two to five-year-olds can interact with the characters and digital projections at the end of the show.

They can join Team Polar Bear or Team Husky to help ignite young imaginations. It features a soundtrack created especially by Torgier Vassvik, a Sami vocalist from the northernmost point of the Norwegian mainland, Gamvik in Finnmark.
