A spectacle, a ceremony, a procession – Menagerie is interactive, community-derived performance.
Featuring our 6-meter tall ‘Gentle Giant’, Jonkle, participants are invited to join us in creating the show. Prior to the performance, children and their families create costumes in our community workshop, making characters, then learning how to bring them to life.
Then, as the sun goes down, children and their adults are invited to a community celebration, where they form part of our Menagerie. Our Gentle Giant – resplendent with decorations and luminescent skin – joins participants to lead the celebration in a sea of colourful chaos. This is Menagerie – the audience immersed in life, light, sound, and colour!
