Flutter - NZ Fringe Festival

A bat who is afraid of the dark meets a glow worm who thinks she is a star.
Join Pepe and his new friend Titi as they face his fears in the murky shadows of the NZ bush and discover the light on the other side.

Featuring our rare and endangered native short tailed bat recently heard for the first time in the Wellington region. This show is about courage and the power of friendship as well as the threat of introduced predators to our native species.

This is a heartwarming, empowering and hilarious puppet show for the whole family.

Performed for the first time at the TAHI festival in 2023 to sold out audiences and rave reviews after undergoing further development this show is being presented at Zealandia as part of the NZ Fringe Festival.

""Flutter" is a delightful experience that is informative and entertaining for young and old alike" - Shemaia Dixon, Theatreview
