About Rhythm in Your Rubbish
Twilight is falling one day when two tired and hungry homeless pals find themselves in a junkyard for the night. As they settle down to sleep, beautiful reverberations suddenly fill the air and in no time they’re off on an extraordinary quest, exploring hidden sounds that live all around them. A saw plays a duet with a cello. Bottles and flutes interweave in a beautiful serenade. Pots, bowls, horns, and even sandpaper transform into magical instruments as the pair waltz, play, and tumble among the discarded treasures. After an enchanting dream sequence, the wanderers, the orchestra, and the audience finish off this mesmerizing show with an epic percussion battle.

Platypus Theatre (poem by Jennifer Petrilli)
“Play”, like a show, and play, like “Have fun!” And blend it with “opus”, (the musical one.) Mix them together with expert technique And out pops the Platypus! – both rare and unique.
A strange little fellow: furry, aquatic, With bill like a duck, and claws – quite exotic! He’s cute to be sure, but a venomous beast Lays eggs, makes milk, he’s an enigma at least!
And then there’s our theatre; it’s music we feature, Our identity hatched from this strange little creature. We live in two worlds, education and fun, Think music as star, but you’ve only begun.
Add masks and puppets; wigs straightened or curled, Then partner with orchestras all over the world. But how did it start? Where did it begin? We’ll tell you in no time so just listen in.
Head back through the ages, to 1989 Our story begins, at this moment in time. The brothers Duschenes, young Michael and Peter, One working in music, the other in theatre.
They took on the challenge to create a new show For the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, wouldn’t you know? A young person’s production, both thrilling and smart A mission they relished, right from the start.
And Peter continued from those very first shows To develop the company the whole world now knows. With 32 years of history behind it Nine original scripts, (if you have one, he’ll sign it!)
700 performances circling the globe, With monsters and Gimquats and wizardly robes. In English and French the stories are told, Almost one million people have seen them unfold.
With television specials, and award-winning shows And 70-plus orchestras, on and on the list goes. But here comes the best part - where we all start grinning, Great history behind us, bright future beginning!
Platypus Theatre would love to hear from you! Please contact them through their website: www.platypustheatre.com
