Dinosaurs come to life
See ancient creatures from land and sea come to life on stage in enthralling new show “Erth’s Prehistoric World”.
A combination of theatrical magic and charm, this enthralling show will engage children and families these school holidays at the West Gippsland Arts Centre on Tuesday, July 5 and Wednesday, July 6.
Travel to the bottom of the ocean to discover ancient bio-luminescent creatures and incredible marine reptiles. Then head back to dry land to witness some of the most amazing dinosaurs to have ever walked Earth.
Erth’s Prehistoric World is a fusion of the highly successful Dinosaur Zoo and Prehistoric Aquarium.
“Erth’s journey into prehistoric times has provided a platform for the company to engage with children on a level that has surprised even us,” director Scott Wright says. “Erth is not a company that exploits dinosaurs for commercial gain, but as a way of starting long and lasting relationships with our worldwide audiences, united in our love and wonder for the natural world.”
Dinosaurs are a gateway to learning, inspiring young minds to consider an array of subjects from science to literature, geology to bio engineering, and natural history to mathematics. Dinosaurs have also become a curious link between child and parent, grandparent, guardian and educator. The learning opportunities are immense.
Erth is a company fuelled by a team of creators, makers and performers pushing the limits of design, content and experience.
Erth’s puppetry-based theatrical productions and innovative community projects have challenged and inspired audiences for more than 25 years, driven by a special interest in natural history, First Nations stories and urban mythology.
Today, the company is recognised internationally as an innovator of physical and visual theatre, and a creator of brave, unbridled work for children.
“Erth’s Prehistoric World” will be performed on Tuesday, July 5 at 6pm and Wednesday, July 6 at 11am and 3pm.
Tickets are $27 for general, $25 for concession, $20 for members, $15 for youth under 18, and $75 for a family of four.
