Who are Tardigrades?
Tardigrades is an improv troupe at Improv Theatre Sydney whose 2026 ITS Comedy Festival show, Moss Piglets Defrost, imagined the microscopic creatures of its name coming back to life after freezing themselves long ago. Having slept through everything, the plump, see-through little moss dwellers are full of questions, and the players turn the audience's answers into silly speculative scenes about the lives they never got to live. The company was Anthony Voutas, Charlotte Casey, Connor Richardson, Genevieve Kaiser, Lily Woodhouse, Stephen Thorpe and Susanna Carter. Carter directed, and Kaiser wrote the show's music theme. [1]
