Excursion to Wonderverse

Patch Theatre Adelaide’s own Children’s Theatre since 1972 has created Wonderverse commissioned by the University of Adelaide for their 150th Anniversary celebrations.

Wonderverse was an innovative journey through a universe of light over many rooms at the University of Adelaide’s Bonython Hall. Within Wonderverse, our SAC Year 3 students traveled through a tunnel of mesmerising fireflies, created their own percussive masterpieces, contemplated the vastness of the universe, and helped control a magnificent sound and light wonderland. Our students experienced breathtaking lighting by Geoff Cobham, discover epic tunes by Elisha Umuhuri from Aboriginal hip-hop sensation DEM MOB, and – best of all – were part of the action. Adventure was had by all in this sensational interactive experience.
