Many in Brisbane suspected that the Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s (QPAC) Out of the Box festival for children eight and under would never return. After a seven-year hiatus (a break that predates even COVID), the festival will return to QPAC in June 2025. The festival will feature world premieres from Yaron Lifschitz and Circa and a diverse range of experiences from a range of Queensland and Australian artists.
2025 also marks the first year for QPAC Chief Executive Rachel Healy in the lead position. “Out of the Box is, without doubt, one of our most loved and most impactful events and we couldn’t be happier announcing its return,” Healy says. “When QPAC first launched Out of the Box in 1992, no one could have predicted the enduring legacy this special festival would have.”
