Bamboo Bandits

Audioplay

An immersive audio experience that combines imaginative, physical play with a cinematic score, inviting you to step inside an action-packed experience without screens.

When outsiders threaten their forest home, two young red panda cubs, Chaos and Mayhem are forced to step up to defend it. But things take a turn for the worse when their mother, the Guardian of the Forest, is captured by poachers!

Armed with their fledgling panda magic and quick thinking, Chaos and Mayhem embark on a mission to rescue their mother and save the forest. Join the cubs as they venture into the unknown; risking life and furry limb as they stare down hair-raising danger.

Will the red panda cubs be able to outsmart their enemies and save their mother before it’s too late? The fate of the forest rests in their paws.

With a pair of headphones and a mobile device, you become Chaos and Mayhem, journeying to the heart of the forest and beyond. Bamboo Bandits combines imaginative, physical play with a cinematic score to create a thrilling action-packed experience. Audioplay is technology without the screens.

Reviews

There’s nothing else like it. What I loved about it is it gets young people out of the theatre seats – they’re part of the action, they’re part of the theatre, part of the performance.

“…they were completely engaged throughout their audio adventure, and were a crack-up to watch as they had to avoid getting their faces melted off, build blanket rockets and partake in some funky dancing! Both of my rocketeers would highly recommend!”
