'What happens when your favourite toy is lost?

'In a fantasy world of odd-sized boxes, night-lights and handmade gingham costumes and curtains, three intriguing characters make a home for lost toys. They discover how each toy came to be lost before giving them their own sound, a movement, a piece of music, a night-light and a nice, comfy bed to sleep in.

'Created by Christine Johnston of the Kransky Sisters, one of Australia's most celebrated performing artists, in collaboration with acclaimed dancer/actor Lisa O'Neill and electronica musician Peter Nelson, Fluff combines audience interaction, music, movement and stunning visual design to create a whimsical piece of theatre.'
