Merredin Dreams of A Lonely Planet
Your once in a lifetime journey awaits, are you ready to follow your heart?
Down here on Earth, Boy feels nervous and confused. All he wants is to be alone and far away from judgemental eyes. Follow him to the moon and go fishing for stars in this enchanting serenade for the young and young at heart.
From the 2025 Winners of the WA Fringe World Children’s Events Award comes a tender and curious exploration of identity and belonging. Through an imaginative mix of contemporary dance and shadow puppetry we escape through the blanket fort into surreal worlds where bicycles can fly us towards new adventures!
“Devised by performers who know how to draw an audience (young and old) into a place of rapturous, wide-eyed wonder.” (Seesaw Magazine)“Towards the end one begins to suspect this is not, in fact, a playful space-themed children’s dance performance, but a metaphor for infatuation, heartbreak, loss, and letting go.” (Arts Hub)
Age suitability: For intergenerational audiences with a target of children aged 7 – 12, their teachers, families and grandparents.
Included in your ticket is a Q and A, hear directly from the performers about their experience on what it’s like to make and perform the show and why we as creatives at Flying Bicycle Collective are so passionate about the possibility of contemporary dance performance! Audiences might like to take their discoveries into the foyer activation activity.
Tickets $10 available online or at Central Wheatbelt Visitor Centre
