From the company that produced the sell-out season of Mr McGee and the Biting Flea comes Emily Loves to Bounce. Inspired by the illustrated books of Stephen Michael King, Emily Loves to Bounce bursts with music, sound, imagery and illusion. Illuminated boxes move mysteriously. Children fly. Chinese lanterns dance and coloured balls bounce on stage like oversized smarties. Fanciful ideas are expressed through a whimsical blend of physical theatre, illusion and light, all supported by an ecelectic range of musical styles played live on a variety of instruments. There's even a deliciously hummed version of Beethoven's Ode to Joy! Children are drawn into the boundless energy, as the concept of breaking out of boxes, physically and mentally, is explored. "A masterstroke of ingenuity - a beautiful blend of sound, mime and illusion. It is intriguing, mystical, funny and irresistible. Thoroughly absorbing." Adelaide Theatre Guide. |
