Sydney Opera House: Antarctica!
2 August @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm AEST

We need you on board as our crew embarks on a daring voyage across Antarctica, battling unforgiving conditions and facing unknown dangers. This is more than a journey of survival: it’s a test of teamwork and camaraderie, where unity soon outweighs the original mission. But the question remains: will everyone make it back safely?
Step into an immersive theatrical adventure that transports you to the frozen frontier of Antarctica. Told through powerful music and movement, this sensory experience draws inspiration from Shackleton’s legendary expedition, when his ship Endurance was trapped by ice and ultimately lost to the depths…
Created by Irish sensory artist Phillida Eves and performer Amélie Bal, Antarctica! is designed especially for children with additional needs and their families, as well as younger children. Expect soundscapes and live music, textured sets and props, flurries of fabric and moments of deep connection between the performers, the story and the participants.
