You’re an Instrument

Step into a realm where imagination reigns and every corner promises musical delight… You’re an Instrument at Parramatta Riverside Theatres with the Sonicrats offers a single, enchanting hour where sound is heard and created by the audience. 

It’s a lively escapade encouraging young and old to shake off the daily hustle and embrace their innate curiosity and creativity.

The show commenced with an engaging duo of scientists who weaved a tale rich in facts about musical instruments, and led the audience into a current, top-secret experiment. It all unfolded with humour and light-heartedness, including unexpected (and yes, humorous) farts, setting the stage for an interactive escapade.

The twist came when the audience members were invited to step up as star performers with one audience member selected to take a mysterious pill. The theatre morphed into a playground of fantasy and rhythm, where attendees crafted tunes with invisible instruments. The joy and spontaneity of playing air guitar or mimicking an imaginary drum kit, led by the Sonicrats, ensured that all found their groove. Their cheeky guidance invited laughter and encouraged everyone to join, creating a communal living room feel.

The production thrives on its vibrant visuals and quirky props, transporting viewers to a world reminiscent of a lively science experiment. This colourful array is more than just eye-catching; it also underscores a commendable mission—making music accessible and embracing creativity in an age overrun with smartphones and gadgets.

For those who thrive on music, seek novel experiences, or just yearn for pure enjoyment wrapped in creativity, You’re an Instrument is a fun-see. It’s not just a performance but an immersive journey that might unveil your hidden musical genius.

Catch this delightful spectacle at Parramatta Riverside Theatres—it’s a ticket to uncover your potential and indulge in a heartwarming, shared musical adventure.
