Dragon by Life and Limb Puppets
A not-to-be missed fantasy puppet show
Dragon is a visually stunning, fantasy-genre puppetry show for families and children, taking audiences on an exhilarating adventure, mixing cutting-edge projection and digital animation with beautiful live puppetry, performed 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, unaware of the dark magical cycle at the core of their magical world.
Dragon is a brand new piece of innovative puppetry theatre featuring a blend of digital animation and live puppetry to produce a vivid and breath taking world.
The show has been created by Life and Limb Puppets, the co-founder of Newcastle’s Moving Parts Puppetry Festival. The production is supported by Horse and Bamboo Alphabetti Theatre and Curious School of Puppetry, and has been created using funding by Arts Council England and Newcastle City Council Community Foundation.
