An Utterly Rubbish Adventure

Kids and Family • Theatre
International • SA Premiere

There’s a world inside your bin! After falling into a mysterious trashcan, Jim is thrown into a wild and wonderfully silly tale of adventure, invention and some very odd characters. Combining high-energy physical theatre with rubbish puppets and recycled props - and featuring catchy original songs - you’ll never look at your garbage the same way again.

Winner: FRINGE WORLD Weekly Children's Event Award 2022 & Adelaide Fringe Tour Ready Award 2023.
