Wonderbox

  • Family and kids
  • Theatre

Wonderbox invites children to roll the dice and set out along a safe, exhilarating pathway into the unknown.

Inside a giant puzzle-box of illusions, kooky-carnival friends with magic in their pockets lead audiences into an immersive multi-sensory wonderland of fantastical large-scale projections, strange tiny delights, and infectious live music.

Inside the Wonderbox, micro moments of whole worlds in a matchbox lead into macro universes where everyone, their face reflected in the stars of the Milky Way, is invited to be wonderful.

Every child’s curiosity is celebrated and rewarded with wondrous surprises. As boxes reveal boxes within boxes each child is given the opportunity to find a magical version of themselves.
