After 12 years at WOMADelaide, Evelyn Roth's giant inflatable animals have become one of the most-loved features of the festival's KidZone. The Nylon Zoo hosts storytelling, theatre and dress-ups, each ending in a mini-procession in costumes, for ages 2 - 102. It's a choreographed, participatory event where kids are the dancers and performers, and it's also an interactive story telling theatre. The Zoo features inflatable orcas, blue whales, salmons, coyotes, igloos, bilbies, sharks, alligators, platypus, wombats, dugongs and dragons. The belly of each creature holds a group of 50 spellbound children, parents and teachers for a short story, song or music, chosen to reflect the festival's theme.
