Company La Pendue (France)
Duration: 50 mins
Suitable for: adults & children 6+
Two puppeteers are on the run armed with a massive weapon of hilarity: when confronted with an audience they draw their weapon… ‘Polichinelle’, the most famous of all puppets. They then enthusiastically announce a performance of exceptional qualities. But, as planned, nothing goes as planned.
Welcome to the hilarious frenzy of a new version of Polichinelle where he appears at his wildest and most explosive. Indiscriminately striking young and old alike with uncontrollable laughter. Because Polichinelle laughs at everything, even death!
Director’s Note: In Poli Degaine, two young French performers take Polichinelle, the father of Punch and Judy and one of the oldest European theatre traditions, to the next level. This production features some of the most sublime glove puppetry and incredible comic timing. If you think you know Punch and Judy…
