Born In A Taxi - Boat of Faith

From Australia

"...Their theatrical skills are so finely tuned they're like reflexes... You never know what they'll do next" Herald Sun

The boat of faith
Is kept afloat
By stars above
And fish below
Michael Leunig

Take a dreamily absurd and comically surreal voyage through the streets of Melbourne in the Boat of Faith with Mr Curly at the helm. Inspired by the poetry and art of Michael Leunig, this is the quintessential street theatre act for Melbourne, and has been created especially for the Commonwealth Games by Born in A Taxi, one of Melbourne's premiere physical theatre performance groups. An ode to one of Melbourne's cultural heroes that will delight all.
