About this event
Get ready to go wild!
This spring school holidays, the Sydney Opera House will transform into a creative wonderland for kids and their families with the inaugural Wild Things International Kids Festival.
Across 16 days, leading companies from Europe, North America, the United Kingdom, Asia and Australia will illustrate the breadth of performance-making for the young and the young at heart.
Free, large-scale installations and performances will take over the Forecourt as the space becomes a vibrant playground where families roam free among immersive activations. Inside the building, a dynamic array of performances includes two shows for babies and nine Australian premieres. With a program spanning circus, Korean pansori, inventive page-to stage adaptations of classic children's book, this festival takes young audiences on a journey through Taiwan, Syria, Africa, Korea, Australia’s First Nations, Antarctica, Europe, the far reaches of the forest, the deep sea and even outer space. All performances are priced at $49 and under, with creative workshops - including one using the latest Apple technology - and play activities for a roaring good time.
Book tickets with friends to receive a discount for four or more.
