Lights! Cameras! Action! Set within a film shoot, layered with live projections, Melbourne theatre company Born in a Taxi thoughtfully and hilariously reimagines this 100 year old children’s story by Margery Williams.
Please bring your own favourite snuggly toy to the show! This is a show where the toys are in charge on stage and your own special guest toy is a VIP.
One of those rare stories that dares to tease out complex themes of loss and love in a way that allows children to connect with them, the Velveteen Rabbit is about a toy rabbit who becomes real…but how did it happen? In the hands of Born in a Taxi, the story is infused with dynamic audience participation, music, live stream video and projections layered into the work that play with multiple scales and give the audience the perspective of a child. Playful, visual and poetic.
A must-see for families and anyone who has ever cherished a beloved toy!
Recommended for children aged 4-10.
‘This is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful piece of work’.
- Anne-Marie Peard, Smart Arts with Richard Watts on Triple RRR Radio
