Flying Fox at The Ephemeral City

Overview

Have you ever felt the need to catapult through a cardboard city on a zipline? You're in luck, niche adventurer.

Sydney's Festival's highly anticipated installation at Barangaroo, Olivier Grossetête’s The Ephemeral City, is already one of the festival's big drawcards this year. Taking over The Cutaway, this large-scale work will see Sydneysiders building an entire pop-up city in the cavernous space — one of the largest collaborative, hands-on events the festival's ever attempted. But before the city is destroyed on Australia Day, you can hurtle through the temporary city on a free flying fox.

There'll be a first-in-first-flight free ticketing system in the venue — so get there bloody early. Find your way to the Cutaway, register for your flight and help build the city while you wait for one heck of a ride.

The Ephemeral City's flying fox will be operating January 8–24 from 2pm–8pm. Closed Mondays.
