SNUFF PUPPETS Nyet Nyet’s Picnic; DVD
Theatre/Art/Indigenous DVD, Used
Bunyips are creatures from Australian Indigenous mythology seen as servers of important warning from the land. They live in creeks, riverbeds, waterholes and swamps, emerging to terrify and sometimes devour animals and humans. In the 1880’s bunyip sightings were reported in the Australian press and lonely, isolated white settlers/invaders wondered and worried about the existence of these native Australian monsters. The Snuff Puppets are honoured to co-present Nyet Nyet’s Picnic with a team of Indigenous artists. The show features over a dozen huge puppets and original live music with the world of bunyips comes to life through humour, terror and fun. The show premiered on the banks of the Yarra River as the cultural highlight of the City of Melbourne’s Reconciliation Week in 2005. This DVD is as rare as shit, and here is an example of the Snuff Puppets if you are not already a fan: https://youtu.be/CnbxO7P7Xnk
