Puppets A Go Go!
- A
world of visual theatre
and puppetry under canvas.
"DNA is a good example of a contemporary
company that moves easily from work aimed at children to work aimed
at a general theatre audience to adult cabaret." - Total

This
weatherproof marquee was an opportunity to showcase innovative performances
of puppetry and visual theatre which are designed for outdoors,
but are improved by an enclosure.
This
project allowed companies to reach out to new audiences by taking
work to them where they live, shop and play. In a festival environment,
'Puppets a Go Go!' provided a focus for work robust enough to work
on the street, while also allowing the delicacy of working with
shadows light materials or poignant subject matter to be appreciated
without being compromised by wind, rain and external visual distraction.
