I am an Insect


A wonderful puppet production titled "I am an Insect" had showings in UNC campus in Chapel Hill.  The production was performed by a group named Paperhand Puppet Intervention.   The theatre was a very nice amphitheatre near the botanical garden on campus.  I really liked the atmosphere. 


The production included giant puppets created from found objects.  There were actors on giant stilts.  It was really neat!  The final section, which was my favorite, was composed entirely of shadow puppets.  Here are some snippets:





If you are interested in entomology and puppets, I definitely recommend it!  They did a really good job of recreating complex insect anatomy!
