Pram People 8 - 11 Oct 2026
Building on successful presentations around the world, Pram People by Polyglot Theatre (Australia) comes to Dublin in collaboration with local communities supported by the North East Inner City Initiative (NEIC).
All performances will take place outdoors in Dublin 1 - location to be announced soon!
A moment in time for children who ride in prams, and the adults who push them. A celebration of community, Pram People rolls out the red carpet for every pram, big or small. Pram users will assemble en masse, following curious and wonderful prompts through headphones, secret messages and even other participants.
Performers will delight and intrigue, adding to the fun as families weave amongst and around each other. Pram People offers a playful and welcoming approach to community participation through joyful movement and connection, using the most universal of vehicles – the pram. Hilarious, serious and surprisingly moving, this immersive, colourful spectacle will activate and reclaim the pram as an asset to public space and society as a whole.
Through workshops, families will help shape this community-led event, which celebrates parents, carers, babies and toddlers while highlighting connection, belonging and the value of public space.
Presented in partnership with Dublin Theatre Festival as part of the Theatre for Children season at Dublin Theatre Festival 2026. Funded by the North East Inner City Initiative and supported by Mediolanum.
