Step into a world of magic, light, and transformation with Butterfly Kaleidoscope, a spectacular large-scale puppetry performance and community art experience lighting up the streets of Geelong.
Marvel at giant illuminated butterfly puppets, fluttering alongside a playful caterpillar and a vibrant trail of community-made butterfly stick puppets. As the sun sets, these glowing creatures cast shimmering patterns of light, leading audiences on a joyful, immersive journey throughout ROAM.
Families and children are invited to join hands-on workshops to create their own butterfly-on-a-stick puppets and bring them to life, joining the fluttering procession of colour, light, and creativity. The workshop space will also play home to a beautiful display highlighting the life cycle of the Monarch Butterfly.
Blending traditional puppetry craftsmanship with innovative design, Butterfly Kaleidoscope celebrates butterflies as symbols of renewal, transformation, and hope, reflecting Geelong’s evolving story of growth and resilience.
The puppets ROAM key zones, projecting glowing patterns onto buildings and guiding audiences through laneways, squares, and cultural precincts.
This inclusive, community-driven project invites all ages to become co-creators in a living, glowing artwork and a celebration of connection, wonder, and shared joy. Don’t miss this magical adventure that transforms the city and invites you to be part of the fluttering story.
