Kage Physical Theatre
From Australia
Three pieces of highly quirky and unusual physical theatre conceived and directed by Melbourne's Kage Physical Theatre.
Crick-art
Howzat! It's the Australian cricket team versus the rest of the world in this supersized parody of Australia's favourite game. With batsmen on stilts slashing wildly at tumbling human cricket balls, you'll be completely stumped.

The Pavlovas
A delicately stunning confection of elongated elegance and spectacular grace on stilts. Never saccharine, perfect for dessert.

The Travelling Aussie Troupe
Join this amazing troupe of eccentric characters from Australia's historical past as they roll into the Games on their incredible wooden Side-by-Side Bike. Spouting Australian colloquialisms all along the way, the Southern Cross Brothers with Rosella and her Kangaroo will take you on a bonza journey through imaginary Australian folklore.
