Murmur (Sydney Opera House)

Direct from Europe, Murmur is both circus and sound theatre for families. Daringly, it plays with all the senses – with rustling sound backpacks, a landscape of speakers and an acrobatic composer!

For the first time in Australia, join Murmur’s visual circus and a multi-sensory acrobatic sound composition! This is an imaginative performance for everyone who sometimes longs to be more than just human.

Camiel is building a world full of sounds. A purring cat comes from a pocket, a swarm of bees flies through the air, two arms create the sound of cars. Far away you hear a finger squeaking on a window. Sea becomes wind becomes breath.

Surrounded by the audience, Camiel jumps, falls, rolls and flies in his attempt to compose the world. Suddenly the audience’s backpacks start to buzz and everything and everyone becomes part of a swirl of sounds in a loudspeaker landscape.
