PUPPETOPIA 2025 is around the corner next week! Be sure to catch VARIATIONS ON (THE) WATER, created by Lake Simons and John Dyer, running from May 28-31. For info and tickets, visit our link in bio! VARIATIONS ON (THE) WATER is experimental by design. It breaks down puppetry to its most simple base, devoid of expected form and asks the viewer to imagine. Together, the audience and the performer bring forward image and story, giving equal energy to nurture a personal yet shared story. Empathy blossoms and through the abstracted imagery we find a shared story and experience. An exploration of Simon’s Raft Project (My Shapes Are In Turmoil) a full length wordless puppet theatre work. (fb)
