Wilbur the Optical Whale
Winner of the Adelaide Fringe Access Award and weekly Innovation Award (2020) ‘Wilbur the Optical Whale’ returns to Adelaide in 2022.
Based on the book by Karen Lee Roberts, Wilbur the Optical Whale’ is a ‘tale’ about friendship, acceptance, and celebrating difference. Wilbur and Cecil are the best of friends and one day while playing hide and seaweed, they are set upon by the Starfish Meanie Gang. How do they get out of this one?
‘Wilbur’ is an immersive, interactive and accessible performance for children aged 3+. Set in an exquisitely crafted underwater world full of fun, interactive play, stunning circus tricks, digital and visual imagery, and music.
All performances are Auslan interpreted, and are presented as ‘relaxed’.
Showing at the Hopgood Theatre, Ramsay Pl, Noarlunga Centre from 8-12 March 2022. Tickets $20-$25 / Family $85
