Birrarung Marr

Batman Avenue, Melbourne

Imagine a towering, 16-metre-high spherical structure with a breathtaking 41-performer acrobat show playing out in, on and around it, and you'll see why dramatic live performance Globe has proved such an international hit.

Acclaimed Dutch performance company Close-Act is bringing its extraordinary show to Australia for the first time, debuting at Birrarung Marr across three nightly shows for White Night Reimagined.

You'll step into an OTT fantasy, as Globe creates the world as seen through a child's eyes. Expect a cast of over-sized otherworldly characters starring in a riot of circus, music, dance and projection. After this one, the idea of humans flying is sure to feel that little bit closer to reality.

Globe runs for 40 minutes and will kick off on Thursday and Friday at 7.15pm, 9pm and 11pm; and Saturday at 7.15pm, 9.30pm and midnight.
