Inspired by J.M. Barrie’s classic text Peter and Wendy, Little Eggs Collective’s The Lost Boys creates a tumultuous world in which a group of preteens navigate an everlasting realm ruled by a boy king who thrives on volatility. A sixty-minute explosion of dance, song, theatrical magic, performance art, electronic music and live soundscapes, it invites the audience to imagine a ‘Neverland’ of their own.
It’s an immersive experience (very few seats are available*) in the Reginald Theatre, which has been transformed into a cavernous performance space. Audiences are greeted by ensemble member Adriane Daff (a modern-day Tinkerbell) who encourages patrons to move around. After that, it’s a kind of narrative-free, immersive free-for-all, with performances and dance on various stages, up above and all around.
The whole is directed by Craig Baldwin and Eliza Scott (who also performs). Along with Scott and Daft, the seven-strong ensemble comprises Samuel Beazley, Emma Harrison, Romain Hassanin, Anusha Thomas and Julia Robertson.
Part warehouse rave, part Lord of the Flies, part Fantasia…Little Eggs invites you to get lost! Make of that what you will.
The Lost of Boys is at the Seymour Centre until 1 December.
Tickets from $35-$49
