The 2025 festival was a full venue takeover, packed with theatre experiences, workshops, free events and activities with additional programs across the cultural precinct at the State Library, Queensland Museum and QAGOMA.
Since its very beginning in 1992, Out of the Box has always placed children at the centre of the festival as artistic collaborators and experts in imaginative play. Every step is taken with children in mind, from the development of new work and the curation of in-theatre productions and workshops through to the adapted onsite experience to design an inclusive, child-friendly environment.
We created a welcoming space where children can share stories, explore new ideas, and dive into the world of imagination. Everyone who attended was invited to experience the festival through the wonder and curiosity of a child – where joy, discovery, and fun are always at the heart of the show!
The 2025 festival has been inspired by the theme of Hope, and as theorist Paulo Friere acknowledges, not as an aspiration but a necessity, and especially so in the lives of children in our post COVID world.
