What's On

High Performance Packing Tape
 

Gripping tension. Gasping suspense. Mind bending predicaments. 

How stable is a cardboard box, if you’re climbing a stacked tower of twenty? Can packing tape hold your weight if you’re using it to hang upside down? And if it doesn’t, will balloons break your fall?

You won’t be able to look away. This is heart pumping, edge of your seat performance from solo performer Lee Wilson. This self made obstacle course transforms everyday materials into the infrastructure of his own peril. Cardboard boxes, rubber bands and packing tape = a DIY dream. No feat is too dangerous in this exhilarating work.

Get ready for the latest offering from Helpmann Award winning Australian company Branch Nebula (Snake Sessions, Concrete & Bone Sessions, Paradise City). High Performance Packing Tape creates enthralling possibilities for physical performance. Your biggest priority will be trying to catch your breath as the spectacle unfolds around you. 

Set your heart racing as one fearless performer uses ordinary materials to create extraordinary scenarios. 

Presented by the Sydney Opera House. Suitable for ages 14+.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
