:: Reeflings’ Explorations ::
Observing humans and their very curious yet so charming behavior.
The Reeflings emerge as a mutant species, originating from reefs across the world’s oceans. Among them are those who are newly acquainted with land, while others are born here, carrying on their legacy in the wake of the reefs’ decline. These resilient creatures embody optimism as they navigate a life devoid of a familiar home or seek refuge from their original habitats. Their ultimate quest is to find a place to call home, establish thriving communities, and coexist harmoniously with other living organisms. Their narrative weaves a tale of escape, survival, arrival, transformation, joy, hope, and the remarkable ability to adapt to new environments.
:: The Reeflings Explorations!
Children can now enjoy the excitement of performing in public spaces with the Reeflings puppets. Under Memetica’s guidance, they can train for one hour, don the costumes, and mingle among the festival crowd, bringing joy to the the onlooking audience and more importantly to the young first time performers of giant puppets.
Age 9-12 years old
The Reeflings have a strong visual impact whether in day light or lit-up from inside in a blacked out environment.
Environmental sustainability
The Reeflings inflatables puppets are made with repurposed abandoned camping tents collected in the aftermath of big music festivals.
:: Reeflings' past Projects
Since their inception, Memetica’s Reeflings have been used in different shows and creative explorations for children. Below are links to Reeflings’ Memeries, a creative development with families from the Brimbank community, and Reeflings: Arrivals, the very first show made about the Reeflings, presented at Melbourne’s renowned multidisciplinary venue, Abbotsford Convent.
