Hamster

Short piece for all audiences, 10 years +

 

Presented as part of an evening of short pieces

Juan is alone on stage with several puppets for a gritty and mischievous performance that is his darkest and most personal creation. Hamster is more a performance than a play. The piece consists of the artist’s improvisations based on contemporary writings and psychedelic poetry, performed with compelling and expressive paper puppets.

TECHNIQUES: Body and Table-Top Puppets, and Live Music
