Plastic bags, they’re everywhere we look and that’s not a good thing. But when the inventive artists of Puzzle Theatre connect with that pesky polluting plastic, they bring it to life in ways you’ve never imagined! A whole world of crinkly, stretchy, and rather “hangry” creatures fill the stage and test each other and the puppeteers themselves.
Artistic Director Lynda says: “Puzzle Theatre has been a very special part of our festival’s history and Plastic/Plastique was a part of our very first edition in 2014. Since then they have been touring the show across the Country thrilling generations of young children! Pavla and Csaba are hilarious and their puppetry work is superb. The plastic creatures they bring to life will have you in stitches.”

Les sacs en plastique sont omniprésents et ce n’est pas une bonne chose. Mais lorsque les artistes inventifs du Puzzle Théâtre s’attaquent à ce plastique polluant, ils lui donnent vie d’une manière que vous n’auriez jamais imaginée ! Tout un monde de créatures froissées, extensibles et plutôt “affamées” remplissent la scène et se mettent à l’épreuve les uns les autres, ainsi que les marionnettistes eux-mêmes.
