2024 Past Event
Join us for an acrobatic adventure exploring all the things we could be.
Leaders in children’s performance Patch Theatre and boundary-pushing circus company Gravity & Other Myths return to Darwin for an exciting collaboration designed especially for four to eight-year-olds and their families.
I Wish… invites you to enter a world of colour and creativity as performers imagine all the things they could be – from an astronaut to a unicorn, and everything in between. While exploring their feelings and differences on stage, they reveal the magic of individuality.
People are made of stuff – good stuff and bad stuff, happy and sad stuff, stinky, odd, boring, dangerous, funny, sparkling potions of stuff. People also have secret ingredients – what could your secret ingredient be?
Featuring gravity-defying acrobatics, stunning visuals, and playful humour, I Wish… is an unforgettable live performance experience.
