An epic tale of trashy proportions!
A puppet show with sustainability at its heart, Escape from Trash Mountain is a poignant look at how good relationships and fervent optimism are the key to saving our planet. Watch in amazement as a large mountain of trash transforms into a cave and becomes the epic playground for our heroes to fight trash bats, navigate treacherous ravines and outwit hideous trash monsters!
Children of all ages will be captivated as two performers operate 17 different puppets and a transforming trash mountain to bring the show to life. Escape From Trash Mountain is fun for the whole family!
The show is accessible to culturally and linguistically diverse audiences - virtually no understanding of the English language is required to enjoy the show to its fullest extent.
Sustainability is packaged in a fun a creative form meaning a trite and didactic kids theatre can be a thing of the past!
The show is ideally accompanied by meaningful and engaging Trash Puppets workshops which add value and tactility to an already enjoyable experience. Kids make their own puppet guided by experience puppet-making experts.
Workshops (suitable for children aged 4-12)
“The performance was superb, the kids were totally engaged from beginning to end, and the message was pertinent and clear.” – Glam Adelaide
***** “Five Stars!” – Auckland Live
“...an endearing work of children’s theatre which is irresistibly engaging and clearly showcases the skill and dedication of its creators...The use of recycled materials in the construction of set, props and puppets is stylishly executed and the underlying message of sustainability is ever-present without feeling forced or over-indulged” - Heath McIvor (Sammy J & Randy) ABC Radio
