Polyglot invites

#Name# and your guests (children welcome)
to celebrate

Polyglot's worldwide smash hit, We Built This City, is celebrating its Tenth Anniversary with a limited homecoming season at The Arts Centre in January 2011. Premiering in Melbourne in 2001, We Built This City is now fresh from several world tours to some of the world's most prestigious arts centres including Washington's Kennedy Center, Singapore's Esplanade, and the Royal National Theatre in London. We Built This City has inspired over 40 000 children playing with over 150 000 cardboard boxes over the last 10 years.

We Built This City is an interactive cardboard construction site installation and performance for families which celebrates absolute simplicity and the power of children's imaginations. Using thousands of cardboard boxes and underscored by live music, kids and families create an ever-changing imagined city, putting the architectural experts to shame. Buildings go up, are pulled down, redesigned, extended, walked through and reconstructed; tunnels are created alongside archways, towers and labyrinths. At the end, everyone joins in trampling the city down into a gloriously chaotic heap of cardboard rubble.

Dates: Wed 12 to Sun 16 January 2011
Times: 10.30am to 12.30pm and 2pm to 4pm
Venue: The Arts Centre, Forecourt
