Tiny Puppet

Once There Were Six Seasons uses puppetry and physical theatre to addresses the impact of climate change. Glass Half Full Theatre explores the subject through the effects on traditional farming societies around the world. Tiny puppet figures exist in vast spaces onstage, and visible puppeteers move the figures through a changing environmental landscape. Emphasis is placed on the shifting landscapes around the puppets, and on the puppeteers' role as the "cause" of those changes.
