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.

Merredin Diesel, By Request
2025-09-20 19:00 - 23:00 | Cummins Theatre, 31 Bates Street, Merredin, WA, 6415, Australia
Following the Bootleg Melancholy Tour, DIESEL is set to head out around the country once again with his inimitable voice, a pallet of guitars and a double bass for DIESEL, BY REQUEST.
A show where the audience plays an integral role in reaching every corner of Diesel’s 3+ decade catalogue of songs, forming the set list for the night – they decide on the song choices making for a night of music ‘requested’ by the audience.
How it works…
From a list of songs posted prior through Diesel’s socials, the audience make their song selections and provide a short comment. On the night, Diesel will then formulate his set list based on these requests, making each night a bespoke experience for both audience and performer.
Song choices to select from span from the first album Johnny Diesel & The Injectors (1989) all the way through to Bootleg Melancholy (2023) along with some eclectic cover picks from the artists that have shaped Diesel’s career.
“It’s always fascinating to me the songs that resonate with people and why. Ultimately, the process of writing and recording is a lonely experience, but it ends up being anything but that once a song is released into the world. These shows give me a chance to connect directly to that “cause and affect”, I love hearing a listener’s anecdotal account of how a song has impacted their journey” – DIESEL
With a career spanning over 3 decades, 17 albums, 100+ million streams, 6 ARIA awards and 2,000+ live shows, Diesel knows how to “bring it” to a room, and BY REQUEST is the ultimate opportunity for him to celebrate with his audience, the hours, minutes and miles that have made an enduring artist, and the soundtrack to so many of our lives.
