About Erth Visual & Physical Inc.
Erth is a company fuelled by beautiful accidents; a team of creators, makers and performers pushing the limits of design, content and experience.
For over thirty-five years Erth’s puppetry-based theatrical productions and innovative community projects have challenged and inspired audiences around the world, driven by a special interest in natural history, First Nations stories, sociology and urban mythology.
Today the company is recognised internationally as an innovator of physical and visual theatre, and a creator of brave, unbridled work for children.
In addition to touring the world with their long-running shows Erth’s Dinosaur Zoo and Erth’s Prehistoric Aquarium, the company’s ongoing push to explore boundaries and devise new work has seen the commissioning of The Liminal Hour and Winter Camp at Barangaroo for Vivid Sydney 2018 and 2019. Erth have also explored the realm of virtual reality, and the development of ARC – an expansive, collaborative, multi-year, cross-platform work which explores preciousness and conservation.
