Big Bugs Show at Haifa International Children’s Theatre Festival 2016
The act, which starts as electrifying chaos-generating happening among the audience, culminates in a hilarious circle-show / performance on a city-square.
Big Bugs Show is a satirical urban legend created by theatre-makers and artists Iva & Petar Mandick, and performed by their group Mr.Image Theatre. Continually exploring new dimensions in visual theatre, the artists create original contemporary mask- and object theatre that interacts with a broad audience.
Big Bugs Show has been in repertoire since 2012 and has been played with great succes at many International Street Theatre Festivals, Puppet Festivals, City Festivals and environmental events ever since.
