After signing the contract, you can receive professional photo material from us in high resolution for your PR. The use is free of charge, the sources are to be named accordingly:

Furthermore we ask you to send us a press review or a voucher copy.

Unfortunately, we cannot play in case of rain and snowfall due to the sensitive costumes. Therefore, we interrupt our performances in case of rain and make up for it during the event if possible and in consultation with you. If your event literally falls through so that we cannot perform, or if your event is completely cancelled by you due to the weather, all contractually agreed costs will be incurred. Unfortunately, as artists we cannot assume the event risk of the organizer.

In case of snow and icy conditions, we reserve the right to replace stilt performances with other costumes after prior consultation with you. Wind, on the other hand, is not a problem for most costumes.

All our costumes are illuminated.

Stilt acts:

• The clear height of the venue should be min. 340 cm to show off the costumes well.
• We need a step-free access to the event (short stairs can be used).
• Doors and elevators as well as trees are usually not a problem.
• Most surfaces such as cobblestones, lawns or gravel paths are usually no problem for us either.

Time of the snails:

• Stepless access to the event with a width of approx. 150 cm for the snail shells.

Beetle alarm / dung beetle:

• Access to the event with approx. 160 cm width with power connection for blowing up the “dung ball”.

Yes, we need a dressing room with the following minimum requirements at least 90 min. before the start of the event:

• approx. 12 sqm room size
• 2 tables – 1 of which is a stable table (e.g. beer tent set) for setting up the stilts (by arrangement we can bring our stilts platform)
• 2 chairs for make-up while sitting
• stable coat rack (can be brought by arrangement)
• warm running water nearby (for make-up removal)

• Since experience shows that we do not have time to cater for ourselves and generally do not eat in costume, we require catering in the dressing room or in the immediate vicinity.
• The catering should include adequate vegetarian food, water and non-alcoholic drinks.
• If it is not possible for you to organize a catering for us, we will find a solution together.

Being on time is very important to us. We arrive at the venue about 2 hours before the event starts. We usually arrive by car.

We ask you to reserve us a parking space near your event:

• Our bus has a height of 189 cm
• Our car has a height of 187 cm

Even though we would very much like to travel by train for environmental reasons, this is only possible in exceptional cases. The costumes and accessories need a lot of space. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to check in our luggage extra with the train so far.

Due to the size and weight of the costumes and accessories, it is not possible for all acts to travel by air.

Currently the following acts are flyable:

• Brides of the Wind and Cloud Catchers
• Griffins featuring TugdiNut
• Card Game
• Santas Little Helpers and Gingerbread time
• Ocean Dancers
• Wagtails
• Fantastic Fabulous Creatures

We are constantly working to make more acts flight-ready.
