Ants at Fed Square

11 April @ 10:30 am - 12 April @ 2:30 pm AEST
Free
IMAGE Ants Abbotsford Convent Theresa Harrison HR sml

Ants as big as humans work together intently, collecting and placing hundreds of giant bread crumbs, and children are irresistibly drawn closer to find out how they can join in.

Gradually a world of meaning unfolds, with children’s movement making lines and patterns, transforming public space and disrupting the everyday. Children choose how they interact with the big insects, becoming Ant-like creatures themselves and taking part in their world.

This is an enchanting and unusual experience that everyone can enjoy at their own pace.

“It made you think deeply at little things.” – Audience member aged 10

This season of Ants is presented by Fed Square and supported by the City of Melbourne.
