Step into the Soft Forest: FAUNA is coming to Subilicious

Subiaco is getting ready to become Subilicious once again, with a month of creativity, entertainment and festival fun set to take over the city from 20 January to 14 February 2027 as part of FRINGE WORLD festival.

As part of the festivities, See Subiaco is proud to partner with FRINGE WORLD to bring the enchanting FAUNA to Subiaco Theatre Centre Gardens from 27–31 January.

Created by award-winning Australian performance company ERTH, FAUNA invites audiences to leave the everyday behind and step into the Soft Forest – an immersive theatrical experience where nature, imagination and storytelling come together.

At the heart of the experience is FAUNA, a luminous giant puppet born from the hidden mycelial networks that connect every forest. As this extraordinary creature moves through the space, audiences are transported into an ever-changing natural world, where trees sing, fireflies gather and the forest comes alive.

Through individual headphones, FAUNA speaks directly to the audience, creating an intimate and immersive experience that encourages visitors to slow down, take a breath and reconnect with the wonder of the natural world.

Part visual spectacle, part sensory adventure, FAUNA is a poetic celebration of nature and imagination, offering a moment of calm, curiosity and wonder amid the buzz of the festival.

But FAUNA is just one part of the Subilicious experience. Throughout the festival, Subiaco will come alive with a range of Fringe shows including special free performances at Subi Night Market. From festival favourites to hidden gems, there’s plenty to discover as Subi celebrates all things FRINGE.

FRINGE WORLD 2027 tickets are on sale now! Get in early, secure your tickets to FAUNA and start exploring what’s happening across Subiaco.
