An instant Australian classic, Beetle tells the story of a child who finds a friend in her backyard; together they embark on an adventure to search for the now elusive Christmas Beetle.
The magic of the bush habitat is brought to life through Legs On The Wall’s
trademark physical storytelling, and animation created from original artworks by beloved children’s author and illustrator Freya Blackwood.
This charming, nostalgic and uniquely Australian show invites children and families to join the adventure, encountering larger than life beetles, stick insects, and other bush critters while finding out about the uncanny nature and delicate balance of the bush environment.
Beetle was commissioned by the North Australian Festival of Arts (NAFA) and The Art House — Wyong.
“A striking show which takes young viewers on an immersive journey into nature by fusing puppetry, physical theatre, circus, video projection, and set and costume design with seamless imagination” ★★★★ - The Scotsman
