Where did all the Christmas Beetles go?

BEETLE
By Legs on the Wall

Look on in awe as The Art House studio is transformed into an Australian bush backyard. A life-size tree will stand front and centre while the entire set is projected against the stage as an animation, illustrated by beloved children’s book illustrator Freya Blackwood.

Beetle by Legs on the Wall is a physical theatre production with climbing, aerials and acrobatics set to a moving backdrop conveying the wholesome story of a human girl who befriends a beetle in her backyard. The adventure that follows will find them encountering other magnificent Australian critters, expertly represented by creative costumes and movement (think stick insects on stilts).

With young audiences in mind, Beetle is a uniquely Australian show and will inspire backyard rompers to get into their yards and be more mindful about the delicate balance of their very own bush environment. The Art House co-commissioned the work with the North American Festival of Arts as it recognized the strength of the Australian story, told by Australian creatives, through the hypnotic style of aerial theatre perfected by Legs on the Wall.

Beetle is recommended for bush adventurers aged 6-14 and will be loved by the whole family. An instant Australian classic, this is a visually striking and enjoyable show with an important environmental message that needs to be heard by everyone.

“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
