Fergus the Ballet

The world's first turtle and tortoise conservation ballet. The work will be based on the storyline of a children's book called Fergus the Turtus by Sebastian Morley. Because Fergus is different to all other hatchling sea turtles he became self aware and is suffering from an identity crisis. His life is an adventure of friendly and not so friendly encounters of animals, pollutants and humans on his journey looking for his parents. As part of the storyline, Fergus' father will be based on Henry and danced by Royal Ballet soloist Fernando Montano.
