IMAGINE LIVE, based on the bestselling book by Alison Lester, is a live performance for families. Combining live action and animation in a large-scale, multi-screen performance, powered by digital puppetry with augmented and mixed reality. Underscored by original music, characters and objects travel between real and animated worlds, responding in real time to audience input. Beautiful and meaningful, IMAGINE LIVE is a celebration of the transformative power of creativity.
IMAGINE LIVE oscillates between Alison’s iconic natural environments and the playful home setting of the children. Props and puppets are skilfully brought to life by live performers and digital puppeteers. The players utilise oversized household items to connect a long distance video call between a granddaughter and grandmother, enjoying a nostalgic connection with their favourite book, Imagine.
IMAGINE LIVE playfully broaches themes of creativity, connection to the natural environment, sustainability, and multigenerational relationships.
IMAGINE LIVE is a creative and memorable experience for families who will be brought into colourful landscapes with linked projection screens and interactive animal puppetry, connecting to environmental themes through imagination and play. Accessibility has been built directly into the show ensuring IMAGINE LIVE is built for everyone from the ground up.
