The Play

Time Out Sydney declared "A History of Everything earns its extraordinary title...a moving reminder of the miracle, for want of a better word, of being here at all." One of the most talked-about theater collectives in the world, Belgian company Ontroerend Goed creates intimate, unique experiences that communicate with audiences in surprising ways. In this collaboration with Sydney Theatre Company, the artists take on the mammoth task of telling our collective history, from the present day all the way back to the Big Bang—in one extraordinary evening of theater.
