Petrushka Show
This colourful musical puppet presentation was created as an introduction to the world of puppetry. The goal of the presentation is to tell children about the origins of puppetry and to demonstrate it’s applications in different cultures. We will show 5 different types of puppets and tell the story of each particular puppet style. The key to this presentation is a dialog with an audience – questions and comments will be welcomed and encouraged.
The presentation will include:
• hand puppet
• bunraku puppet
• table-top puppet
• full-body puppet
• marionette
Each puppet will perform a short musical number to demonstrate its technique and beauty.
Our Petrushka (a close Russian cousine of Mr.Punch) will perform a song using his swazzle-made voice.
This presentation is great for a mixed audience but children should be old enough to ask questions and participate in a dialogue.
The stage is not required. Perfect for a casual events.
