Whirlwind by Polyglot Theatre


  • Immigration Museum (map)

Presented by Melbourne Fringe and supported by Museums Victoria, Whirlwind is a brand-new participatory arts experience from Polyglot Theatre, a world-renowned contemporary theatre company based in Melbourne/Naarm.

Filled with an array of recycled and discarded paper and fabric, the Whirlwind performance space is animated by many fans and many hands. Detritus reimagined. The air sweeps and swirls, children dance and ideas whirl. Take a moment to sing with abandon into a fan or lie down to see the gentle arc of a bubble.

Join Polyglot performers in hilarious and moving creative play, powered by you!
