Part installation, part performance, Matter Era brings a post-human world to life through experimental puppetry and animated objects.

In collaboration with Tasmanian puppeteers Terrapin, UK-based artist Tim Spooner invites audiences into an ecosystem imagined entirely without people.

As the stage begins to breathe, unseen performers animate creatures that explore, flock and interact in captivating ways. A vision full of wonder and warning, witness life reshaping itself and imagine what might emerge when nature reassembles.

Viewable either as one-hour performance or as a durational event where spectators can come and go as they please.Times:
