About Half a String
Tiny Planet is a puppet theatre show by Half a String, imagining a planet no bigger than a house that is nevertheless the centre of a galaxy. An intergalactic space baker crash lands and discovers that the smallest things hold the biggest stories. The show uses breathtaking puppetry, live folk songs merged with big synth sounds, and live camera projection to bring the planet to life. Exploring how we can feel impossibly small and infinitely gigantic, it runs for 60 minutes at King Dome.
Why see this show?
Inventive, warmly crafted and suitable for the whole family, Tiny Planet uses puppetry and live music to explore something genuinely big. The live camera projection alone makes it worth seeing.
