Internationally-acclaimed theatre company, Kinetic Theatre, was responsible for the appearance of the snails as part of Gastropodia, a roving walkabout, in Echuca, Kyabram, Rochester and Rushworth.
Originating on the streets of Fremantle in 1996, Kinetic is now based in Melbourne, and consists of a versatile troupe of performers whose training includes mime, stage acting, physical theatre, puppetry, improvisation, clowning and costume design.
The eclectic skills of performers have been combined to produce a variety of original shows and several commissioned performances in Australia and abroad.
The company has been invited to festivals and events in Japan, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand and throughout Europe.
