Direct from Europe, and for the first time in Australia, a new performance combing both circus and sound theatre for families, flies onto the Opera House stage. Murmur is a unique immersive work that ensnares all the senses – with rustling sound backpacks, a landscape of speakers and an acrobatic composer!

Camiel, our acrobat, is building a world full of sounds. A purring cat comes from a pocket, a swarm of bees flies through the air, two arms create the sound of cars. Far away you hear a finger squeaking on a window. Sea becomes wind, becomes breath.

Surrounded by you – the audience, Camiel jumps, falls, rolls and flies in his attempt to compose the world. Suddenly your backpacks start to buzz and everything and everyone becomes part of a swirl of sounds in an imaginary landscape. This is an unforgettable performance for everyone who longs fly.

Please note: This performance has a strict 15-minute lockout. Latecomers will not be admitted after this time.
