Forest
Arts Market
Information
In the forest, tiny worlds meet giant worlds. Our imaginations breathe and our senses awaken. Listen. How does the forest call to you?
Forest is a brand-new immersive work set and presented among the rustling trees of a real forest. In this bold production from Polyglot Theatre, world-renowned for its distinctive, participatory artistic ethos, children aged 4+ and their families are welcomed in to discover the forest. Together, we explore the connection we have to forests, and the creatures and characters within.
Featuring striking design that delights and surprises, and a captivating musical composition guiding the journey, Forest is a wondrous celebration of ecosystems and possibility.
This adaptable touring work can be staged in forests, botanic gardens, wooded local parklands or remote bushland. Seasons can include performances for kindergarten and/or school groups.
