From Polyglot Theatre (Australia), a building extravaganza that will bring out the child in everyone!

Imagine a public arena filled with hundreds of cardboard boxes. Then invite kids and families to come in and build their own city. You can try to build anything you can think of, as tall or as wide as you like. Wandering around the new city are construction experts to help or provide some advice for your creation if needed. Bop along to the sound of the city with DJs or live bands.

Throughout the day, buildings will go up, be pulled down, be redesigned, extended, walked through and jumped on, and reconstructed. At the end of the day, everybody can have fun knocking down and squashing the whole city into a heap of cardboard rubble, to be recycled by Eden Community Recycling. We Built This City is as much fun to watch as it is to do.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body, and by the Victorian Government through Arts Victoria.
