Theme Park - Clare-Rose : Story-teller for Kids

All of a sudden my creatures got so bored with just being in my storybooks that one night they all fled their pages and ran away into the endless, timeless universe… “The Great Runaway,” they called it.

For a moment, all of them found themselves stranded in the middle of the nothingness.

Calligrahia and Rio decided to build a house. Not a boring house. A fun house. Then, instead of a boring bathroom, Madga Gaska, Whereabouts and Mr Mist built slippery slides and swimming pools. From there, instead of a garden, they built a labyrinth of vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices. A place of worship was formed to suit all creatures, called the Hologram of Belief. Then a Theatre of Thinking to discuss ideas on how to move forward; a Liminal Space Museum as a keepsake of dreams; a Lake of Meaning to wonder about the meaning of life. A gigantic Mirror Maze entrance, the un-lockable front door, for each creature to truly know itself and much, much more. Together they made an exquisite (not at all boring) theme park they called EVERYTHING-WORLD.

They need to find someone, someone perhaps just like you, to think up all the answers to their questions…? AND THEN THINK UP SOME RIDES, WITH CREATURES WHO HAVE QUESTIONS OF THEIR OWN...

THE SLIPPERY SLIDE OF DISAPPOINTMENT C3R7

  Endings In A Never Ending World ~   The Slippery Slide Of Disappointment is I suppose a metaphor for a death itself, or all the miniatures deaths within a life. She is the most relaxed ride in the Theme Park. You climb the staircase fo your life, and suddenly, it becomes time to go…

The Story of my Imaginary Themepark

But there was something about those hours upon hours upon hours of pure wondering that had vanished from my life… “How are you going to make the world a better place?” My father would ask me, again and again.  “I’m just going to go around and make people’s days better?” I would answer. “That’s not…
