String Symphony is the story of Leor, a giant marionette made of over one kilometre of woven rope, waiting to be brought to life by DreamBIG’s audience.
Follow Leor as he explores his place in the world.
Up to 30 young people will have the opportunity to puppet Leor each performance. Spare Parts Puppeteers recommend children aged 7+ wield the puppet (and will select audience members to participate accordingly), but all ages can enjoy the performance.
Please note that the performance will proceed rain or shine, and will only be cancelled if the performers feel unsafe to proceed. It is possible that the performance time may be slightly adjusted to accommodate poor weather.
Note Auslan Intepretation will be available at the show on Sunday, 11 May at 3:00pm.
