Following their migratory route to seasonal feeding grounds, three ancient diprotodons have become lost in the city and have found their way to the Australian National Botanic Gardens. As they try to make their way in the altered landscape, these visitors from a forgotten time created by design-led theatre masterminds Dead Puppet Society provoke a reflection on how humans have changed this island and its creatures, and the importance of the Gardens for plant and animal conservation.
Megafauna will take up residence in a prehistoric installation in the Visitor Centre when not roving through the Gardens.
They will be roving the Gardens during the day near the Friends Lawn and Pollen Cafe:
They will be roving during the night at all MEGAfauna afterDARK sessions. Bookings essential through Eventbrite.
Dead Puppet Society is a Brisbane-based international production and design house creating deeply imaginative visual theatre, public art, and sculpture, combining timeless craftsmanship with cutting edge technology.
Sponsored by the ACT Government, the Friends of the Australian National Botanic Gardens and the Ovolo Nishi.
