Tardigrades… perhaps you’ve heard of them?
Small but mighty, they have withstood multiple extinction cycles, surviving boiling temperatures and the freezing temperatures of space. With a surprising cult following, some people call them ‘Water Bears’, others call them ‘Moss Piglets’.
Moss Piglet is an explosive portrait of the world’s most resilient and curious critters. Taking young audiences from jelly-filled petri dishes to the depths of a volcano to Arctic glaciers to the moon, the work explodes the mysteries of the wildly weird tardigrade.
Playful and thrilling, Moss Piglet is an epic new work about how even the tiniest of things can be the strongest. Think Bruce Willis in Die Hard… but teeny tiny with eight legs… who loves moss.
The best children’s theatre company in the country.
One of the smartest companies in the Australian theatre scene.
