In WHALEBONE, Jens Altheimer has created something very special. WHALEBONE is visually delightful; the recycled contraptions, inventions, cleverly used technology and magic combined with juggling and clowning are totally mesmerising and engaging ...

–Stephen Champion, Manager Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre.

This is the kind of show your kids will love. It is full of junk, fantastical objects, artificial intelligence, drama, thrills and puzzle solving.
