Ssshhh! The house is sleeping. Step inside a three-dimensional storybook world of wonder and dreams … with hidden passages, upside-down rooms and secrets to uncover at every turn.

Littered with exotic bric-a-brac, this slumbering house dreams wistfully of its past, conjuring memories, that delight the curious, in each room and with each object.

Inspired by the natural playfulness of children, this incredible interactive labyrinth pushes the boundaries of our imagination with an innovative combination of robotics, performers and projections – and anything within reach can be touched and explored.

This immersive adventure excites all of the senses.

Groups of three enter the house to find all manner of wonders … Hogwart's-style. SMH

I didn’t want to leave The House of Dreaming. Neither did my artistic advisor, five-year-old Scout. There’s picture books (good ones) and origami in the waiting room and you get a costume and a magic talisman ... The experience is how I remember first reading picture books. They were so real that I felt I was in the pages and living it. ANNE-MARIE PEARD - AUSSIETHEATRE.COM
