Velveteen Rabbit

Performances

Physical Theatre Company Born in a Taxi thoughtfully and hilariously reimagines this 100-year-old children's story by Margery Williams. This is a show where the toys are in charge on stage.

Velveteen Rabbit is about a toy rabbit who becomes real but how did it happen? In the hands of Born in a Taxi, the story is infused with dynamic audience participation, live and recorded music with live stream video and projections layered into the work that plays with multiple scales that reflect the perspective of a child. Playful, visual and poetic.

A must-see for families and anyone who has ever cherished a beloved toy.

Velveteen Rabbit is created by Born in a Taxi, commissioned by Monash University Performing Arts Centre and supported by Creative Victoria.

Duration of the performance is 60 minutes.
