Acknowledgment of country

Polyglot acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and create, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. For more than 65,000 years, children and families have created and played here, and we are grateful to make our art on this country too.

Pass It On at March On 2025 (Singapore)

Join artists from Polyglot Theatre (Australia) and The Artground (Singapore) to create, play and explore ideas for a brand-new interactive installation.

A Pass It On promotional photo. A child's hand clasps an older person's hand, in front of wrinkled brown paper featuring a hand-drawn path. 'Pass It On' is written in brown letters with a yellow drop shadow, next to a red heart. 'Take the time. Skip generations. Pass on the stories. Keep it rolling' is written at the bottom in small brown letters.

A cross-cultural collaboration between artists in Australia (Polyglot Theatre) and Singapore (The Artground), presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay

Pass It On is an intergenerational workshop for children aged four to seven and grandparents. Parents, siblings, aunties and uncles are also welcome to join. Through fun, playful activities, we will connect the imaginations of children with the experiences of their adults, together discovering new generations of stories.

Take your time. Skip to a beat. Make your mark. Pass It On keeps it rolling.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body. Polyglot Theatre is also supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
