Paper Planet

Fed Square presents Polyglot Theatre’s Paper Planet.

Paper Planet is a universally accessible experience that families find inspiring and utterly captivating.

Children and families are invited into a forest of tall cardboard trees and after exploring the space, they add to this strange and delicate planet using only paper, tape and their imaginations. Theatre and play merge in this magical place, as creatures, plants, costumes, characters, stories and adventures spring to life.

Paper Planet grows as more families visit, and every session is truly unique as imaginations go wild. Children choose how they interact with the performers and with other children; some children find themselves absorbed in quiet making, and others prefer to play and explore.

Paper Planet is child-led, deeply involving and highly sensory, and sure to delight the whole family.

Paper Planet was originally commission by Fed Square for The Edge in 2011 and has travelled the world since.

For children ages 2-12 and their families.
