The Puppet Theatre Barge has been putting on a programme of unique and magical puppet shows on a converted Thames barge for over thirty years.
The audience begin their journey as soon as they step onto the gangplank and climb aboard. They descend below the water line (wellingtons not necessary) and leave the real world behind.
Puppets from other parts of the world hang from the walls in retirement. The theatre’s golden curtain is softly lit and banks of seats slope gently to the roof.
A ship’s bell is rung, the audience falls silent in anticipation. Music plays, the lights dim, the theatre goes dark and finally the curtain rises to the delight of children and adults alike.
The Puppet Theatre Barge moves between two locations - Little Venice and Richmond.
My Shadow & Me in Little Venice
5.0 (47)
from £12.00 per session
Puppet Theatre Barge - Little Venice, opposite 35 Blomfield Road, Little Venice, London, W9 2PF
My Shadow and Me is like a cartoon created live out of nothing but darkness and light.
One person (and his shadow) meet and go on an incredible, imaginative, shadowy journey where creatures emerge, engage and transform beautifully.
The show uses minimal language in combination with electronic music, a kazoo, a shaker and non- verbal voice effects.
Little encounters between characters are explored and tiny stories unfold. A simple, theatrical blend of amazing skill, simplicity, humour and shadow magic.
