The Last Numbat at Ballarat Begonia Festival

For the first time on the Australian East Coast, experience the magic and joy of The Last Numbat.

Created by Australia’s renowned puppetry company, Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, with designer and puppet maker Leon Hendroff, The Last Numbat is a large-scale, interactive performance installation that uses puppetry to explore connection, community and collaboration.

With the help of 14 audience participants, The Last Numbat weaves a story of identity, endangered species and caring for our environment. Participants are immersed in a hands-on experience and learn how to operate the puppet while working in partnership with each other to tell the story.

Come and immerse yourself in the story of The Last Numbat, on the Main Lawn.

Full program coming soon.
