Life and Limb Puppets
At Sea
See Life and Limb Puppets’ new production “At Sea”. The company return after their well received performances of “Dragon” at the 2023 iteration of the festival.
A fantastical puppet adventure! At Sea is an uplifting tale of a sailor’s triumph over darkness; Non-verbal, with stunning projections and music. A life-affirming family show for anyone aged 6+.
Our Sailor is lost without their Heart Compass. Their quest takes them through Coral Reef, a Siren’s Lair, right to the bottom of the ocean. Will they ever make it out of the belly of the beast and find the way home?
Created by Life and Limb Puppets in association with Alphabetti Theatre. Supported by the National Theatre and Horse + Bamboo, with public funding from Arts Council England.
