The actress and comedian will appear at a special Vivid Ideas event at the Sydney Opera House on Monday 27 May.
The event will be an ‘In Conversation’ hosted by Zan Rowe, and it will offer a first look at Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2.
“I’m really looking forward to taking part in Vivid Sydney this year, a place that welcomes Joy in every way,” said Poehler.
“I can’t wait to share a little of Inside Out 2: a movie that lets Joy and Sadness, Anxiety and Envy all try to work together in hilarious and touching ways.”
Guests will be treated with an exclusive 30-minute peek at select scenes from the film, which is a sequel to the Academy Award-winning and critically acclaimed Inside Out (2015). Poehler voices the role of Joy in the movie.
Other highlights of this year’s Vivid program include interactive experience A Thousand Ways, film series Golden Age of Humanity, and Shifting Perspectives, an immersive dance and art installation by Restless Dance Theatre.
The festival will take place from Friday 24 May to Saturday 15 June. Over 23 nights of experiences, the theme of ‘Humanity’ will be explored through light, music, ideas and food.
Vivid Sydney Presents – In Conversation with Amy Poehler plus a special first look at Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 will be staged at the Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House, on Monday 27 May from 7.00pm. Red Carpet arrivals will take place from 6.00pm.
