Mechanimal presents a gloriously stupid show of bad animal impressions and a satirical VR wilderness safari – an Edinburgh Fringe Theatre Preview
How do you do an Uglyface Scorpionfish? What’s a Darth Vader Giant Pill Millipede? In this little firework of a show Tom and Xavi create a wickedly playful duet between body and sound; it’s like a nature doc on steroids.
Award-winning Mechanimal presents a sequel to its hit show, Vigil. More animals, more madness, more soul: responding to the entire 48,000 long Red List of currently extinct and endangered species, Wild Thing! is a bittersweet meditation on life in an age of extinction.
