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. 

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ... Windmill Theatre Company’s brilliant new production Moss Piglet is the perfect combination of theatre and science that will keep audiences of any age enthralled…
