The Play
East of the Sun and West of the Moon combines Bunraku style, live hand puppets and onstage actors who interact in a dynamic form of movement theatre.
East of the Sun and West of the Moon is the epic story of a young girl called Bridgette who causes the near destruction of her town when she breaks her promise to a frog.

“This experimental theatre piece is anything but traditional. The combination of movement, acting, music and puppetry contributes to a graceful, harmonious setting…All the performers, actors and puppeteers alike, are exceptional.”
