Stalker Theatre Company and Out of the Box present CREATURE
10 minutes Powerhouse Theatre, Brisbane Powerhouse Family
Enter the magical landscape of the Australian bush and discover how our actions affect the world around us.
Commissioned by QPAC for the 2016 Out of the Box Festival for children eight years and under, Creature is a new interactive digital and physical theatre performance for the whole family. Told with 3D projection images of Australian animals, it creates an exciting play space for both young audiences and performers alike.
Meet our indigenous flora and fauna through a retelling of the iconic Australian story of Dot and the Kangaroo. See a myriad of creatures in their natural habitat and explore their quirky characteristics amidst the beauty and fragility of the Australian bush. But how long before this unique native wildlife disappears as we humans encroach on their habitat and push them off the land? Creature invites you to enter the magical world of the Australian bush to explore how our actions affect the animals.
