The STRANGE-itoreum

An ODD performance for ages 5 - 8

If you hear the fridge rattling, detect the smell of dragons or notice extraterrestrial peas rolling around your dinner plate, be warned. The STRANGE-itoreum is somewhere near and anything could happen!

A light-hearted and SHRIEKINGLY FUNNY theatrical performance, The STRANGE-itoreum takes children into a nonsense world filled with curious objects, loopy language and kooky characters. Making use of a range of visually tantalising techniques, music and a large cast of highly physical performers, the show will give its audience the thrill of visiting an 'ABSOLUTELY AWFUL' place few have dared to go!

Don’t forget to also book into our Odd workshops where you can dive even deeper into the delightful nonsense of The STRANGE-itoreum. The workshop is free when booked in conjunction with the performance.

Presented by State Library of Queensland and Griffith University. Inspired by The Odditoreum, a travelling exhibition developed by the Powerhouse Museum with Shaun Tan.

Writer and Director: Linda Hassall | Lighting Design: Andrew Meadows | Performers: Griffith University Applied Theatre 2nd year students | Production Team: Stephen Rowan and Shaun Charles | Early childhood advisor: Julie Dunn
