Adam Kelly is, in his words, an autistic gentleman. His friend Finbar is a fish. Adam thinks that asking someone what it feels like to live with autism is pretty much like asking a fish (i.e. Finbar) if it knows it’s in water, which is pretty funny if you think about it.
ARCO is Adam Kelly’s award-wining show about living with autism, or, in Finbar the fish’s case, living in water. The show takes a heartfelt look at the life and struggles of a young man trying to make connections with the people and world around him. Along the way Adam asks gently of his audience to consider life from his perspective.
ARCO Jnr, a supercharged version of the original for children and families, incorporates exciting animation from Perth-based neurodiverse artist Ben Hollingsworth. Join us as Adam and Finbar dance, draw, fly and joke their way into our hearts.
ARCO JNR suitable for families and children aged 7-12 years.
ARCO Snr/Jnr by Adam Kelly and James Berlyn is produced by Performing Lines WA and proudly presented by Cairns Performing Arts Centre.
ARCO Snr/Jnr was originally produced by WA Youth Theatre Company.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principle arts investment and advisory body.
