Overview

This award-winning, fantastical adventure centers on a girl’s search for the simplest of things-home. Iris lives in Nocturno, where people work all night to put spots on ladybugs and paint the color of flowers. Nearby is the island home of the Great Goods, who have the best of everything. The Goods decide that Iris is the best Girl and send the strange Mr. Matternot to bring Iris to them… but he must take her memory of her past to do it. A lovely fantasy for audiences ages 10 and up.
