A stage adaptation of Alison Lester’s best-selling children’s book Imagine will come to venues across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria in 2025 following a run at the Arts Centre in January.
Imagine Live is a 60 minute magical celebration of creativity, friendship and our precious natural world.
From the multi award-winning team behind Robot Song, performers play and sing their way through the pages of Alison Lester’s much-loved book Imagine, and quickly discover there is more to these pages than they first thought.
IMAGINE LIVE combines live action and animation with digital puppetry in a large-scale, multi-screen performance.
Underscored by beautiful original music, oversized props and digital puppets are skilfully brought to life by performers and link together a long distance video call between a granddaughter and grandmother, enjoying a nostalgic connection through their favourite book, Imagine.
Relevant to multi-generational and diverse audiences, the show is a reminder that connection, creativity and play are essential ingredients for positive mental health. The production’s deep environmental theme invites us to look beyond our backyards into a shared and richly beautiful world.
