A warm drink, a fresh pastry, and a journey around the world—without ever leaving your seat.
Naomi Steinberg travelled around the Earth for 382 days without setting foot on an airplane. During that time, she performed in a library in Japan and discovered kamishibai, a traditional Japanese storytelling form well suited to intimate, accessible performance.
Kamishibai uses illustrated cards placed inside a small wooden frame, brought to life through voice and movement. Once a beloved form of street storytelling in Japan, it blends bold imagery with gentle theatricality, captivating audiences of all ages.
The Goosefeather Kamishibai shares stories from Naomi’s global travels, exploring curiosity, resilience, empathy, and care for the Earth.
Your ticket includes a coffee or tea and a breakfast pastry of your choice: a bagel, croissant, or scone.
