The Dream of the Thylacine premiered at TMAG as part of Ten Days on the Island in March 2013. Ten years on, the festival is now presenting the Tasmanian Premiere of Hide the Dog – a story of two best friends who stumble upon an incredible find: the world’s last thylacine.

Few animals capture the collective imagination like the Tasmanian tiger, but behind this fascination is Australia’s dubious position as the world leader in extinction. Join artist and puppet-maker Bryony Anderson, UTAS Senior Researcher Associate Professor Katrina Schlunke and Honorary Curator of Vertebrate Zoology at TMAG, Kathryn Medlock, for a special panel talk that explores the thylacine’s place in literature, art and our cultural imagination.
