BiographyHistory

'Australia's Polyglot Theatre is an internationally renowned creator of interactive experiences for children and families, inspiring kids to turn the simplest things into extraordinary creations. At Polyglot, theatre is child's play.

'Polyglot's theatre is inspired by the artwork, play and ideas of children, and our performances feature active participation from audience members through touch, play and encounter. Our artistic works respond to the childhood need for experiences that encourage free artistic expression and an imaginative interpretation of the world. We seek to challenge, to foster curiosity and to inspire. We specialise in puppet theatre, large scale interactive installation work and participatory workshop programs.

'For over 30 years, Polyglot has been recognized one of Australia's leading children's theatre companies, and in recent years the company has been in demand internationally, playing to over 60 000 children annually on four continents.'
