Puppetry
Runs Jan 23Jan 25, 2025

Jump in the ring for this puppet wrestling entertainment spectacular! Puppetry meets pro wrestling, meets rock show; high art meets low art meets Samuel Beckett! A frenetic frenzy slash aburdist love letter combines Bunraku-style table-top puppetry, cart puppetry, live-feed projection (instant replay) & object performance, as well as the wrestling tropes of matches, monologues, and music & video.

NYC

Josh Rice Projects combines puppetry with humor and social commentary, creating shows inspired by both traditional puppetry and pop culture. Known for their eclectic style, they use puppetry to explore contemporary narratives with an engaging twist. At the festival, Kayfabe draws from professional wrestling, offering a playful yet insightful look at performance and identity.
