HEAP IS A TONNE OF FUN AND A PILE OF SMILE
Everyone loves a compost heap. Especially a great big one that comes alive! And that’s just what happens with Heap – the latest show from the world-renowned Terrapin.
Inspired by Tasmanians’ love of gardening, this roving performance features an ambitious amateur horticulturalist and a giant, wobbly compost creature, Heap takes composting to new heights – literally!
Designed by master puppet maker Bryony Anderson and constructed entirely out of salvaged materials, with the help of Moonah Primary School kids, Heap is the biggest, friendliest pile of organic matter you’ve ever seen.
