"Dead as a Dodo" blends puppet theater, video projections, and humor to explore a future that mirrors the past
In the underworld, a skeleton dodo and a skeleton Neanderthal hunt for bones, fighting against time to avoid vanishing. An unexpected event – the Dodo growing a new leg – triggers a series of changes that challenge the established order.
Join Wakka Wakka's third, captivating performance at this year's festival, and experience the great reversal.
