Step into a lively construction site brought to life through dance, physical theatre, and plenty of laughs. Watch as three performers build, create, and repair contraptions amid playful chaos, with music and movement captivating young audiences.
This Australian premiere by Dutch company Plan d- invites children to experience the excitement of tinkering and DIY in a theatrical setting. Expect a show filled with humor, creativity, and interactive moments that encourage participation.
Perfect for kids aged 6 and up, this 55-minute performance combines physical comedy with daring building tasks, making it ideal for children who love to move and explore.
The show runs for approximately 55 minutes without an interval, featuring a dynamic set that is built live on stage. The narrative follows a chaotic day on a building site where water sprays, power cuts, and pipes burst, challenging the performers to fix everything before disaster strikes.
On Sunday, 4 October, after the 2:30pm show, there is a special post-show artist talk lasting about 20 minutes, where children can ask questions and learn about the inspiration behind the performance.
