Joondalup Festival: Crystal People at Joondalup Festival 2026
7 March - 22 March

There is something hauntingly beautiful happening at Sir James McCusker Park – 52 crystalline human figures rising from the water, swaying with every breath of wind, changing with every shift of light, brought to life by Joondalup Festival.
Crystal People is a meditation on community, transformation and our connection to the elements, brought to life by French theatrical company Ilotopie.
They charge themselves with solar energy, becoming gloriously luminescent as twilight falls, creating an entirely different experience.
This is installation art that speaks to our shared humanity, our relationship with nature, and the importance of living in harmony with the elements. Whether you visit during your morning walk, pause during lunch, or return as the sun sets to see them glow, each encounter offers something new.
Perfect for contemplative moments, family outings, or romantic evening strolls – Crystal People transforms your local park into a space of wonder and meaning.
