Erth’s Petting Zoo Returns to QPAC, January 8-20

By:

The technical brilliance of Erth's enchanting Dinosaur Petting Zoo™ returns to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), after sell-out performances at this year's Out of the Box Festival, from 8 to 20 January 2013 on the Melbourne Street Green. 

The Melbourne Street Green will once again be transformed into a lush jungle housing prehistoric creatures that once roamed free across the ancient lands of Terra Australis millions of years ago at Erth's interactive Dinosaur Petting Zoo™.

Audiences will come eye to eye with an amazing array of 'mostly' friendly, life-like creatures from cute baby dinosaurs to the teeth-gnashing ferocity of the Queensland found Dinosaur the Australovenator.

Erth's Dinosaur Petting Zoo™ gives children the opportunity to help feed, water, care for and interact with these prehistoric marvels whilst engaging them in some simple lessons in animal husbandry.

Since the company's conception in 1990, Erth Visual & Physical Inc. has strived to provide audiences with eye popping visual experiences, continually creating original live theatre ensuring the company remains at the forefront of new performance practice.

Their Dinosaur Petting Zoo™ is no exception with an awesome menagerie of insects, mammals and dinosaurs all coming to life at QPAC this January in a unique, fun and educational performance that will thrill and delight children of all ages.

This unforgettable experience will take audiences on an informative journey through Australia's prehistoric natural history in a once-in-a-lifetime imaginative experience.
