The Ephemeral City

Overview

Now this is a playground for the ages. January's Sydney Festival will see the brand new Cutaway at Barangaroo Reserve house one of the largest community events in festival's 40 years. Olivier Grossetête’s The Ephemeral City invites Sydneysiders to use boxes and tape to create a temporary city — one which will be excitedly demolished come Australia Day. This unprecedented project also includes a free Flying Fox zipline, a projection of Shaun Gladwell’s Skateboarders vs Minimalism and a full audio-visual experience at Gallery Hour. The best part? The entire Barangaroo program is absolutely free.
