Moss Piglet

Microscopic. Indestructible.

An explosive portrait of the world’s most resilient and curious critters, Tardigrades. Small but mighty, they have withstood multiple extinction periods, survived boiling temperatures and even the vacuum of space. With a surprising cult following, some people call them ‘Water Bears’, others call them ‘Moss Piglets’.

Moss Piglet takes 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.

Featuring wicked puppetry, live video and green screen technology, this is an epic ride of microscopic proportions.

Single Tickets on sale 1 December, noon (AEST).
