School Season Performances: Perth

HOUSE: 2024

Cathelijn is completely and undeniably alone: no friends, no family, no-one to turn to. All by herself in the centre of a dark forest.  And that’s when she sees it - the house. A higgledy-piggledy mess of a place. Inside, she finds Piotr and Elka.

So begins an extraordinary adventure that takes Cathelijn across the world and deep inside herself, on a journey of self-realisation and self-determination.

Part contemporary fairy-tale, part mad-cap adventure story, HOUSE is a heart-felt and hilarious tale of loneliness, belonging and flying houses. Featuring a cast of loveable characters and a living, breathing house, this fun-filled escapade for the whole family will set imaginations soaring.

The original production of HOUSE was a Barking Gecko Theatre and Perth Festival co-production.
