Book at Puppet Performance for your event

Starmongers

Designed and created by Judith Hope Puppet Maker

for Moving Parts Arts

Encounter illuminated astronomers charting imaginary skies. Ethereal cosmic characters, they are guardians of the stars, reading the night sky and conveying messages from the constellations. Seated in ramshackle chairs, high above their audience, they pedal through the sky, propelled by rods and mechanisms attached to the wheels. A unique roaming puppet act, with shadow puppetry experience included. Best suited to nighttime events, but daytime events are also workable.

​

Made possible through support from Newcastle City Council, Enchanted City Festival, North East Combined Authority and Northumbria University.
