The award-winning creators of Erth's Dinosaur Petting Zoo and Erth's Prehistoric Aquarium return to The Joan on September 16 and 17 with their awe-inspiring new production, ARC. / (min cost $ 0 ) or signup to continue reading Featuring exquisite puppetry, an enigmatic host and audience interaction, this intimate show about our love for the natural world gives children and their families the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with a menagerie of rare and vulnerable species, including the Leadbeater's possum, pangolin, snow leopard, Sumatran rhinoceros, polar bear and the Indian elephant. With conservation at its heart, ARC explores key threats to Australia's biodiversity from climate change to habit loss and degradation and invasive species, whilst raising important questions about our relationship with the changing natural world.
Over the past two centuries, Australia has lost more mammal species than any other continent and continues to have one of the highest rates of species decline in the world. Renowned as innovators of physical and visual theatre for the past three decades, Erth has worked with leading scientists, museums and zoos to bring this timely and important production to life on stage and deliver a genuinely moving, respectful and empowering show for young audiences. Don't miss your chance to experience an incredible array of wildlife transform before your eyes live on stage.
