Copenhagen Puppet Festival presents…! the performance The House by Sofie Krog Theater. From the facade everything looks peaceful, but within the walls the house collects memories. Once it was a funeral home where a terrible crime was committed.
“Technically very impressive, but most of all screamingly funny…” Asker Culture House, Oslo, Norway
Please note that all showings are sold out, why we have chosen to set up another performance on Sunday 3rd March at 3pm.

Copenhagen Puppet Festival presents…! Nordic Puppet Ambassadors with the performance WaitingRoom. A grotesque and hilarious play inspired by the works of the Danish painter Michael Kvium.
” … the brilliant characters come to life through dance and movement and immediately captivate the audience…” The Daily Newspaper Länsi-Savo.

Further more it will be possible to get an introduction to puppet making or animation using different light sources on shades or raw walls in one of the two workshops presented by UNIMA Danmark and Bornholm Puppet Festival. Please note that both workshops are now fully booked

As a gloomy completion of the programme the shortfilm Hooray for Hollywood by Puppet (R)Evolution will run. A grim autobiographical tale of the child pornography industry in Hollywood. The film’s director will follow up by giving an insight into the underlying  reflections and artistic choices for communicating her own fragmentet and horrible childhood.
“…very powerful and deeply disturbing.” Reviewer, Great Britain.
