ABOUT THE EVENT
Cardboard Carnival
Trunk, Tail, Ears or Wings?
Carnival creates itself from all sorts of things!
This is ‘Carnival of the Animals’ but not as we know it.
Dissected for body part potential to create the "ultimate animal", we take inspiration from the music by Camille Saint-Saëns, a little help from Charles Darwin and a whole lot of cardboard to mash up a show full of puppet possibility.
Focused on the simple magic of puppetry it will leave audiences inspired by both the animal theatricality of the music and the creative potential of the
simple cardboard box.
Inspiration and delight for everyone from 4 to 104.
Lempen Puppet Theatre Company tour throughout the UK and beyond with their own unique brand of original stories told with puppets. Imaginative, spellbinding and sometimes surprising, they focus on high quality family theatre to leave their audiences inspired.
“Lempen always makes things magic - a very special quality!”
"You can spend a fortune on multi-media, but its amazing what you can do with cardboard and paper. -Superb!!!!"
“That was the most creative show I have ever seen. Really inspiring!”
