What if you were the last of your kind?
The Last Numbat dares to leave her log and step into the night.
For one night only, she rises as a giant, glowing puppet beneath the stars – a rare, breathtaking vision of a creature that is never nocturnal.
What’s On:
Interactive puppetry
Join Curtin Theatre Arts students in short, hands-on performances where you can help bring the numbat to life.
Food trucks & live entertainment

Storytelling beneath the stars

This giant marionette comes alive through hands-on puppetry and storytelling, created by Spare Parts Puppet Theatre and designer Leon Hendroff.
The performance is a special adaptation developed in partnership with Curtin University and Theatre Arts students, following the original 2020 commission by the City of South Perth.
