Moss Piglet

Windmill Production Company

Microscopic. Indestructable.

Tardigrades… perhaps you’ve heard of them? Small but mighty, they have withstood multiple extinction periods, survived boiling temperatures and even the vacuum of space. With a surprising cult following, some people call them ‘Water Bears’, others call them ‘Moss Piglets’. 

Moss Piglet is an explosive portrait of the world’s most resilient and curious critters. Taking young audiences from jelly-filled petri dishes to the depths of a volcano to Arctic glaciers to the moon, the work explodes the mysteries of the wildly weird tardigrade. 

Featuring wicked puppetry, choreography, live video and green screen technology, this is an epic ride of microscopic proportions.

Windmill is supported by the Government of  South Australia and the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its arts funding and advisory body.

★★★★★ “Windmill Theatre Company’s brilliant new production Moss Piglet is the perfect combination of theatre and science that will keep audiences of any age enthralled…”
– Glam Adelaide
★★★★ ½ “Insightful and thoroughly entertaining, Moss Piglet is a beautiful and timely reminder that one does not need to be large to be strong. A must see for the whole family.”
– ArtsHub
“…hilarious and informative for kids and adults alike"
– The Advertiser
