What is Pram People?
It’s a celebration of community!
Pram pushers are invited to meet in Barking Town Square this August to follow curious and wonderful prompts through headphones, secret messages and even other participants.
Performers from Polyglot Theatre will delight and intrigue, adding to the fun as families weave among and around each other.
Visiting Barking for the first time from Australia, Pram People is offering the chance for residents to be part of this playful and welcoming community project, to connect with others and to celebrate the pram!
Hilarious, serious and surprisingly moving, this immersive, colourful spectacle will activate the Town Square in Barking, and reclaim the pram as an asset to public space and society as a whole.
Be part of the performance with your child or come and watch the live performances.
