Hopeful Monsters
Hopeful Monsters is the story of evolution told entirely with hands. They move and morph in unusual ways, becoming unexpected creatures that shapeshift as we journey through water, earth and air. All living things are made up of the same fundamental building blocks, from simple organisms to giant beasts. It’s a tale of survival and struggle, of connection and transformation, and a reminder of the playfulness of living. After all, we humans are animals too.
Hopeful Monsters is a piece of tabletop puppetry for adults and children aged 5+ inspired by evolutionary theory. The action is set to an emotive soundtrack and is non-verbal.
