Collective exhilaration is the goal: an exuberant, immersive dance performance scored by Hiatus Kaiyote and featuring vibrant, kaleidoscopic fabric artwork from visual artist Hiromi Tango (and the community of Gurambilbarra [Townsville], who finger-knitted lots of it).
Audio described performance
The Saturday evening performance will be audio described. To book an audio described performance, please call the Theatre Royal's box office directly on (03) 6146 3300.
Tactile tour
A tactile tour will take place before the Saturday evening performance, allowing people who may experience the world differently (such as those who have a sensory sensitivity) to fully immerse themselves in the sets, costumes and props before the performance starts.
The tactile tour is free of charge, but registration is essential.
Wayfinder is presented in partnership with the Theatre Royal
