Click here to ask about how we might provide a very special attraction Ireland has seen an surge in the number and type of festivals celebrating an ever-growing number of aspects of Irish life. Audiences have come to expect more – and better – family entertainment at each event. This is where Ireland’s only travelling marionette theatre comes in…
Given the complexity of marionettes, they are rarely seen at events in Ireland. Other forms of puppetry are commonplace at festivals and community celebrations, which is one of the reasons that the presence of the Moon and Sixpence Puppet Theatre at a particular festival makes it such a vivid memory. We can perform indoors in a traditional stage-setting or provide our own outdoor fit-up to perform for large audiences enjoying the unpredictable Irish weather! Given the breadth of festival audiences, including the great range of ages, and often generations, a marionette performance has an edge over other forms of puppetry. The movement of marionettes, together with the use of music and sound effects provide many aspects of entertainment for all sorts of audiences – not to mention story lines that can appeal to children on one level and adults on another!
