Beasties

Electronic animal puppets fill Beasties in Melbourne, from a squarish quacking cow to a one-eyed cat, a squirting pig and a wandering, oversized comic prop. Two performers oversee the animals throughout, answering questions and keeping the display running, with some figures set up for observation only and others built for guests to touch and interact with directly. The full installation runs for three hours, split into either two ninety-minute sessions or three one-hour sessions with breaks between.
