Paperhand Puppet Project presents The Wild Wisdom of the World

Paperhand’s 26th annual giant puppet production featuring masks, huge puppets, stilts, shadows and illuminated creatures all brought to life with live original music by the Paperhand band!

A fantastical menagerie of beasts and characters take to the stage (and audience), enchanting, awing and inspiring people of all ages.

This year, the theme is in the title. What is the 'Wild Wisdom of the World' indeed?!

We are living and making into the questions, knowing that whatever it is, we need to get closer to it. Everything changes. Nothing exists in isolation. All life moves and wants to repair and renew.

All flourishing is mutual as Robin Wall Kimmerer reflected so clearly. From stewarding shepherds with their flocks, to great elemental dragons resisting the onslaught of the extractive and destructive 'greyness'. From the movement of a migrating Perula, to the small but mighty beat of a monarchs wing.

This show is all about belonging to the living landscape of the Earth.

It’s about becoming the courageous creative beings that we need to be to face what is ahead.

Join us for some wondrous moments of delight, connection and fun!
