the Boy & the Ball

  • The Channel - Arts Centre Melbourne (map)

A story about making a friend and how one friend can become many.

In a quiet heuristic world, simply constructed from multiple cylinders of all shapes and sizes we meet a very shy boy and witness how, with the assistance of a ball, he makes a friend. This non-verbal performance is a wondrous tale of reassurance, joy and connection... with a little visual magic achieved through carefully devised theatrical illusion.

Developed over a two year period in close consultation with a highly experienced team of artists and educators alongside the participation of kindergarten children, the Boy & the Ball is exquisitely nuanced to engage young audiences in storytelling wonder.

This performance can seat up to 35 children at a time, and will be held in the performance space at The Channel.
