Ever wanted to dive with sharks, but been too afraid to?
This is your chance to come face-to-face with a 5-metre Great White… without getting wet.
If you've seen an Erth show before, you'll know they don't do ordinary theatre. If you haven't, you're in for a treat.
In Shark Dive, families climb into a shark cage and make their way beneath the ocean's surface. Fish dart past. Stingrays glide overhead. Ancient sea creatures appear out of the darkness. Then, just when you think you've seen it all... a 5-metre Great White swims into view.
One of the clever touches is that you choose your own soundtrack before you begin. Will your journey feel calm and peaceful? Or more like you're starring in your own shark movie? The choice is yours.
Erth's puppets move so naturally you'll find yourself forgetting they're puppets at all. Instead of making sharks seem scary, Shark Dive helps kids see them for what they really are – an important part of our oceans.
If you're looking for something completely different these school holidays, this is it. You're not sitting back and watching theatre unfold. You're right there – in the cage – experiencing it.
We're soooo excited for this one.
