Lights! Cameras! Action! Set within a film shoot, layered with live projections, physical theatre company 'Born in a Taxi' thoughtfully and hilariously reimagines this 100 year old children’s story by Margery Williams. One of those rare stories that dares to tease out complex themes of loss and love in a way that allows children to connect with them, The 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, music, live stream video and projections layered into the work that play with multiple scales and give the audience the perspective of a child. Playful, visual and poetic. A must-see for families and anyone who has ever cherished a beloved toy! Please bring your own favourite snuggly toy to the show! This is a show where the toys are in charge on stage and your own special guest toy is a VIP. The Velveteen Rabbit is created by Born in a Taxi, commissioned by Monash University Performing Arts Centre and supported by Creative Victoria. “This is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful piece of work” -Anne-Marie Peard, Smart Arts with Richard Watts on Triple RRR Radio
