Incredibilia
In this immersive theatre experience, extraordinary objects are brought to life using music, song and puppetry!
Inspired by the work of celebrated children’s author Libby Hathorn, the State Library presents a new show — Incredibilia — adapted by acclaimed theatre-maker, Kim Carpenter (of Theatre of Image) with music by Peter Kennard’s extraordinary one-man band.
Incredibilia tells the story of two intrepid best friends as they embark on an imaginative journey — crossing super-hot deserts, into spooky cities, through exotic gardens and on a trip over the moon — to discover the true meaning of connection.
This heartwarming performance is a celebration of family, friendship, the warmth and comfort of home.
Join us and let your imagination run wild!
Suitable for 5- to 10-year-olds (School Years K - 4).
