    F.A.Q.

    All/Audience/Booking Info/Performance/Technical requirements/

    At festivals we usually play 2 shows of 40 minutes a day or 3 shows of ca 30 minutes a day.
    Anyhow, the number of shows is readily adaptable to the concept and program of the festival and can be negotiated.

    The show is performed by a group of 5 performers (4 Bugs + The Forester).
    However, in some cases we can also perform a smaller version of the show with 3 Bugs + The Forester (4 performers in total).

    The show is primarily visual, however, The Forester is a speaking character. The show can be performed in:

    Dutch | English | German | French | Spanish

    BIG BUGS performance consists of 2 parts.

    • PART 1 –  INTERACTION
      (15 – 20 minutes)
      Big Bugs appear from the Backstage at Starting point and crawl through the crowd for approx. 50 – 100 meters towards the Show area. The astonished crowd interact, pet, or shrink back screaming.
    • PART 2 – THE SHOW
      (15 – 20 minutes)
      The act culminates in a short performance at the Show area (a space of ca 10 x 10 m with Big Bugs décor as a backdrop). The Forester introduces Big Bugs one by one with many comical situations as a result. The show ends with Big Bugs performing a final ‘tableau’.
      During the show the audience is standing typically in a large 3/4 circle around the Show area.

    BIG BUGS performance should be planned at the spot where the most audience is expected (for example, at the main city square).
    The show can also be planned at different locations during 1 day but there has to be enough time between the shows for build-up, break-down and transfer.

    Regarding terrain: thanks to our ‘all-terrain’ wheels, we can move on (almost) any terrain, inclusive grass.

    Big Bugs are very much at home at street theatre festivals; City Festivals; Puppet festivals; Music/dance festivals; Park Festivals; Environmental events.
    You will spot them in the middle of a city square; around a castle; in a busy shopping mall, at the zoo…

    The show works great both at small and large-scale festivals & events. The show is suitable for a large audience. It can be watched by up to 1000+ spectators.

    The show is suitable for the whole family; children of all ages are welcome. The show is suitable for a broad audience, young and old, regardless of age, gender and cultural background.
