About the show

A satirical urban show about the beetles who grow to enormous proportions because of consumption of junk food and food waste they are finding in and around big cities.

Four huge lifelike beetles show up in the middle of the city. The ‘Kafkaesque’ parade, consisting of a giant Cockroach; an enormous Lady-bug; a Stag beetle and a Jewel beetle go on rampage through the streets, causing excitement and ‘mass-hysteria’ amongst the public. They are accompanied by The Forester who is trying to get a grip on the situation. ‘Don’t panic! We have everything under control!’ he shouts while the astonished crowd shrink back screaming.

Big Bugs Show has been played with great success at many International Street Theatre Festivals, Puppet Festivals, City Festivals and environmental events.
