A spectacular circus adventure where wonder, courage and imagination take flight
Every mission has a plan. But sometimes, the universe has other ideas.
When an astronaut sets out on an important mission with their crew, they’re prepared for an adventure of a lifetime. What they didn’t prepare for is an asteroid field that sends everything into chaos.
Separated from their crew and hurtling deeper into the unknown, our astronaut must find their way through strange new worlds, with a few extraordinary alien encounters. With the journey home uncertain, courage becomes their greatest ally.
Making its Sydney premiere with some of Australia’s most exciting circus artists, Into Space brings the intergalactic adventure to life through breathtaking acrobatics, aerials, juggling and spectacular visual design. Bodies will soar, gravity will seem to disappear, and the stage will transform into a universe of wonder, danger and possibility.
Funny, thrilling and full of heart, this is a story about how getting lost is sometimes the only way to find out what really matters.
Join us at Star Stories for FREE creative play!
Every astronaut needs a map of the stars. Running alongside Into Space, Star Stories by Wiradjuri poet and artist Jazz Money invites young explorers to make a star map of their own life. Use stars, words, pictures and patterns to create your own constellations. Chart the journey from home to school, connect the people you love, or map a special place or memory. Your sky is yours to create.
