An adventurous spirit lives within us all
The latest work from Performing Hearts Theatre, The World on Wheels is created, written, and performed by eight people from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance, who share their love of theatre while advocating for more representation of people with a disability in the performing arts sector, on the world’s greatest stage, the Sydney Opera House. The World on Wheels is an exploration of human relationships, loss, and the impact of isolation in our increasingly hectic lives. It focuses on the importance of connecting with one another, and in doing so, with ourselves. Our unique characters from different walks of life embark a journey which when it turns to turmoil, they realise that they all have more in common than they thought.
