Come face-to-face with life-sized dinosaurs in a pulse-pounding adventure that’s as educational as it is epic.
Travel back to a prehistoric world and meet creatures great and small, from a baby Triceratops and wide-eyed Leaellynasaura to Australia’s fearsome Australovenator. Watch dinosaurs walk, roar and interact through jaw-dropping puppetry that brings their behaviour to life with astonishing realism.
Blending storytelling with science, this immersive live show explores how dinosaurs lived, moved and cared for one another – from the lush landscapes of prehistoric Australia to the extinction event that changed everything, drawing on the latest paleontological discoveries. Along the way, big questions come to life through story, sound and stunning puppetry. Could a carnivore be raised as a herbivore? Did dinosaurs sing? What happens when one gets sick? And while there are some seriously big dinosaurs on stage, there’s plenty of cuteness too – including a clumsy, curious toddler T. rex and a delightful crèche of baby dinosaurs.
Created by Erth Visual & Physical Inc., internationally recognised innovators of physical and visual theatre, Erth’s Dinosaurs is a thrilling adventure for curious kids and their grown-ups.
