Reverie

Reverie, a floating theatre in Berrys Bay, merges architecture and performance to create an immersive, ever-changing stage on Sydney’s waters. Cutter boats act as both transport and performance stages, interacting with light and water for a dynamic experience. The floating islands blur the line between the audience and the stage, transforming perspectives as boats move and creating a layered narrative. Translucent architecture enhances this by blending seamlessly with the surroundings, casting enchanting plays of light and shadow. Reverie invites audiences into an ethereal realm where performance and environment unite, offering unique sensory journeys that celebrate storytelling and connection in innovative ways.

The story of Reverie unfolds as boats guide passengers across the Harbour, transforming each journey. Piers extend from Balls Head Reserve, seamlessly integrating to create a unified sense of belonging.

Boats departing from every edge of Sydney Harbour gather at Reverie, transforming journeys into stories. Each vessel becomes part of the floating theatre, producing captivating performances.
