Created using Dead Puppet Society’s signature laser-cut technology, HIVE MIND uses the movement of the wind as the puppeteer, highlighting the vital role played by bees in preserving the delicate balance of our ecosystem. 

HIVE MIND, presented by Sydney Living Museums, takes place in the picturesque grounds of Vaucluse House. It is being presented alongside a range of bee-inspired public programs, including workshops, self-guided activities, tours and talks. 

Dead Puppet Society, an Australian production house and design company that combines old-school craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, returns to the Sydney Festival following critically acclaimed seasons of Laser Beak Man (Sydney Festival 2020) and The Wider Earth (Sydney Festival 2018).

Afterwards explore the magnificent Vaucluse House and participate in a making activity inspired by the artwork (admission fees apply). You can also enjoy breakfast, lunch, high tea or a beverage at Estate Vaucluse House.
