Description
The Civic Centre Gardens will come alive with 'Puppet in the Pilbara – The Last Numbat', a giant interactive puppetry event.
The Last Numbat tells the story of a numbat who believes she is the last of her kind in the world. Audience members will be thrilled as they are invited to join professional puppeteers at bringing the giant numbat to life. This large scale interactive work has been created by Australia’s renowned puppetry company, Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, with designer and puppet maker Leon Hendroff and was originally commissioned by the City of South Perth.
Exploring themes of connection, community, collaboration and environmental sustainability, The Last Numbat bridges the gap between audience and performance, as 17 audience members participate at any one time. As the participants manipulate the giant numbat puppet, onlookers will get the chance to marvel at the beauty of this magnificent creation and absorb the story. The renowned Pilbara sunset over Cemetery Beach will set the stage for a truly magical experience for all ages to ponder.
