Laughs for all ages

The Kif-Kif Sisters are bringing their unique show 'Returns Department' to Vernon.

The performance, Sept. 29 at 2 p.m., will launch the Spotlight 2024-25 Kids Series at the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre.

The Kif-Kif Sisters invite audiences to the Returns Department, where they inspect merchandise returned by disgruntled customers.

They discover dysfunctional objects and manufacturing defects on their conveyor belt, while dealing with complaints.

“The Kif Kif sisters’ sweet and silly show will have your kids giggling away,” says Erin Kennedy, VDPACS’ artistic director.

The show combines physical theatre, circus, robotics and puppetry, offering humour inspired by Charlie Chaplin and comic strips.

The performance takes a playful look behind the scenes of a production line, where defective products become a space for the characters to express creativity, invent, and evolve.

Beginning their Canada wide tour in Vernon, The Kif-Kif Sisters are identical twins from Montreal, whose humour is liked by children and adults alike.

They have performed more than 1,000 times in 20 countries with the likes of Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec and Cirque du Soleil.

Their performances encourage children to experiment and explore, while engaging audiences through interactive, intimate shows.

Tickets are $12 for all ages and are available by calling 250-549-SHOW (7469) or online.
