Once Upon a Tide is a digital art and storytelling piece for children and grown-ups, created by Art Apart, and produced by ThinkArts.

Thos is a tale of a family of eight hundred turtles spread all across the world, and their father who turns a hundred years old. To celebrate, these eight hundred siblings embark on a grand adventure to gather together at Velas, on the coast of India. This is their journey! Once Upon A Tide is a celebration of Diego, the real Giant Tortoise from the Galapagos who turned hundred in 2020. In a breeding program, Diego was responsible for siring a whopping eight hundred offspring in his hundred years, thus reviving this otherwise endangered species. 

Once Upon a Tide storytelling piece was invited to be showcased at the Vancouver International Children’s Festival 2021, a multidisciplinary festival for young audiences presenting international performances.
