These emotions were reflected in the plain backcloth, which changed colour as the moods of the music varied. The simplicity of the brightly coloured leotards allowed the exquisite skill and precision of the dancers to be emphasised and focused on, as there were no elaborate costumes to take away from the artistry of the dancers. Highlights from the performance included Ruth Brill, the Great Auk penguin, who was a centric part of the performance as the Great Auks were completely wiped out by natural disasters and hunting.
Although, not all the characters were so humorous, with the Rainforest People creating a more sombre tone, and the South Cape Zebra a key part in the performance as the audience watched its dramatic onstage slaughter. The ending to this performance left an open-ended conclusion, and its lively and energetic approach to promoting the issues surrounding endangered species makes it a performance everyone should watch.
