Dragon is a visually stunning, fantasy-genre puppetry show mixing cutting-edge projection and digital animation with beautiful live puppetry, performed by a cast of 3 to a soaring original score.

An exciting but dangerous adventure set in a verdant valley ringed by mountains that protect it from the outside world. In this rich and beautiful land, a young orphaned child is reluctantly being taught their hunting duties by their older sibling, but in this land where dragons are real, they will soon learn of the dark magical cycle at the core of their idyllic world.

This epic, thought-provoking and wordless show is perfect for adults, families and children aged 8+, and audiences with limited English or English as a second language.

Duration:

70mins

Carved wooden puppets dressed as jesters
