Cathelijn is completely and undeniably alone: no friends, no family, no one to turn to. All by herself, in the centre of a dark forest, she tries to be strong, like a Viking. And that’s when she sees it – the house. A higgledy-piggledy mess of a place as tall as the trees. Inside, she finds Piotr, a small boy who never stops talking, and Elka, a grey-haired explorer who insists they keep the curtains closed tight.
When they suddenly launch into the air and set off across the sky, Cathelijn learns that this is no ordinary house: it’s a Rescue House, and it rescues the Loneliest Child in the world. So begins an extraordinary adventure that takes Cathelijn across the world and deep inside herself on a journey of self-realisation and self-determination.
A new contemporary fairy tale, HOUSE is a mad-cap adventure story of loneliness, belonging and flying houses. Featuring a cast of memorable characters, and a living breathing house, this fun-filled escapade for the whole family will set imaginations soaring.
The original 2021 season of HOUSE was a Barking Gecko Theatre and Perth Festival co-production, and the 2024 remount coincides with the release of the picture book published by Fremantle Press.
