Mr Chirrup’s Curious Bug Safari
The show is performed in front of a giant, inflatable peach. It is 40 minutes long and is a collection of old stories, songs and facts about insects and their relationships with humans, from all around the world. The magic peach (and the kids’ imaginations) is what allows us to ‘fly’ around the world on our global bug safari, and the children choose where we go next.
Combining entertainment and education, with a little bit of pro-insect activism, we bring insects to life for the audience. The show is very interactive, and the audience gets to sing, dance, and read aloud.
We hope to change people’s attitudes to insects, opening their eyes to the vital contributions the many species make to our existence and to their extraordinary diversity.
The show involves a cast of 3, Old Green Grasshopper, Ariadne the Spider and Lady Bird. Grasshopper is also accompanied by his blind (puppet) friend Earthworm.
