Ants by Polyglot Theatre

Ants is an interactive performance which brings children together to explore the landscape around them.

Ants as big as humans work together intently, collecting and placing hundreds of giant bread crumbs, and children are irresistibly drawn closer to find out how they can join in. Gradually a world of meaning unfolds, with children’s movement making lines and patterns, transforming public space and disrupting the everyday. Children choose how they interact with the big insects, becoming ant-like creatures themselves and taking part in their world. This is an enchanting and unusual experience that everyone can enjoy at their own pace.

This season of Ants by Polyglot Theatre is presented by Fed Square and supported by the City of Melbourne.
