An inspiring new work by Performing Hearts Theatre presented by The Cerebral Palsy Alliance, ‘The World on Wheels’, takes to the stage this week.
The production features a cast of actors with disability: all of them wheelchair users, and some non-verbal.
Over the course of the show the cast of fictional characters each aim to go on a holiday for a variety of reasons, however disaster strikes before their journey can even really begin and they are left stranded in the Australian outback.
The latest work from Performing Hearts Theatre, ‘The World on Wheels’ is created, written, and performed by eight people from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance, who share their love of theatre while advocating for more representation of people with a disability in the performing arts sector, on the world’s greatest stage, the Sydney Opera House.
‘The World on Wheels’ is an exploration of human relationships, loss, and the impact of isolation in our increasingly hectic lives. It focuses on the importance of connecting with one another, and in doing so, with ourselves. The unique characters from different walks of life embark a journey which when it turns to turmoil, they realise that they all have more in common than they thought.
The production is a culmination of two years of work, and is one of the largest events of its type to be held at the iconic Sydney Opera House.
