Acknowledgement of Traditional Custodians

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations, both First Nations and non-First Nations peoples, towards creating a better Queensland.

Overview

You’ll never look at a cardboard box the same way again! 

Prepare to have your minds blown! Four quirky misfits turn everyday junk – wheelie bins, kitchen scraps, plastic bags – into an electrifying symphony of beats, rhythm and creativity. 

This high-energy adventure transforms trash into treasure with explosive drumming, dance and laugh-out-loud comedy. An abandoned kitchen becomes a drum set, plastic bags turn into instruments and the human body becomes a sound machine! 

It’s a thrilling celebration of rhythm, imagination and sustainability for all ages. Speaking in ‘Rhythmish’ – a playful language made of rhythm & gibberish – this show will hook you from start to finish! Join these musical misfits who reinvigorate forgotten junk.
