Dreams of a Lonely Planet

Are you ready to follow your heart at Harvey Recreation and Cultural Centre’s Dream of a Lonely Planet this September? The show is a combination of contemporary dance, shadow puppetry, and physical comedy, featuring a surreal storyline in this visually stunning all-ages treat.
Down here on Earth, Boy feels nervous and confused. All he wants is to be alone and far away from judgmental eyes. Follow him to the moon and go fishing for stars in this enchanting serenade for the young and young at heart.
From the 2025 Winners of the WA Fringe World Children’s Events Award comes a tender and curious exploration of identity and belonging. Through an imaginative mix of contemporary dance and shadow puppetry, we escape through the blanket fort into surreal worlds where bicycles can fly us towards new adventures!
“Devised by performers who know how to draw an audience (young and old) into a place of rapturous, wide-eyed wonder.” (Seesaw Magazine)
“Towards the end one begins to suspect this is not, in fact, a playful space-themed children’s dance performance, but a metaphor for infatuation, heartbreak, loss, and letting go.” (Arts Hub)
Age suitability: For intergenerational audiences with a target of children aged 7 – 12, their teachers, families and grandparents.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SHOW
“Entertaining, fun, uplifting, beautifully colourful and musical, lovely, delicate singing.”
“It was so charming and delightful that we went back a second time! The performers were very talented and had connection and flow. The Lamplighter brought much joy and some gorgeous giggles.”
“A beautiful glimpse into the wonder and curiosity of the sleeping mind. A nostalgic dreamland perhaps forgotten to many of us.”
“Creative theatre involving different genres of dance, mime, shadow puppetry and music – appealing to all ages – inspiring.”
