a spellbound audience!!
A massively talented and accomplished show! all the risks & rules of puppetry turned side out upside down on its head and pulls it off! with you to the faraway and brings it starkly to your face. Mesmerizing moments, communicative, realistic inventive in its fusion with a take home package of questions and answers.
