Welcome to the unexpectedly beautiful interior of Snuff Puppets' ornate 14-metre giant inflatable spectacle, Cochlear. You enter through an airlock into a winding cavern of interlocking tubes and passages, culminating in the spiral vortex at the centre of the inner ear. It's a world of curving lines, soft-edged chambers, geometric forms, and colour-saturated light diffusing through fabric. Strange puppet creatures appear and disappear, inviting you to listen more deeply to some of the quietest voices in the city. Cochlear draws on Snuff Puppets' portrayal of giant human body parts as potent symbols of our shared humanity and adds to the company's 30-year legacy of subversive and thought-provoking public spectacles. Cochlear by Snuff Puppets is part of Midsumma X Ignite Melbourne program. This program has been supported through the Melbourne City Revitalisation Fund, a partnership between the Victorian Government and the City of Melbourne.
