Flying Fruit Fly Circus brings JUNK to Riverside Theatres for the Easter School Holidays
Australia's leading national youth circus, the Flying Fruit Fly Circus, will burst on to the stage at Riverside Theatres this Easter school holidays with its multi award-winning show, Junk.
Junk is set in 1940s rural Australia - a time when the neighbourhood street was a playground full of adventure and make-believe. An ordinary boy, discovers an abandoned junkyard inhabited by a gang of wild-at-heart kids. With boundless enthusiasm, the group urge him to play as children once did.
Inspired by childhood stories from elderly residents of regional Australia, a cast of talented young performers present a vibrant and refreshing exploration of the changing world of childhood, imagination and fun. Junk takes audiences into a magical world of play through circus and acrobatic skills, beautiful shadow-puppetry and live musical performances on instruments from a bygone era.
Executive Director and Producer, Richard Hull, said, "We are all very proud of this work, which so beautifully reflects our company's home and roots in regional Albury-Wodonga. It also asks some relevant questions about how children are allowed to dream, imagine and discover risk in our modern day society."
