CATERPILLARS

Caterpillars

Caterpillars is a physical comedy based loosely on the life cycle of two personified caterpillars/butterflies, and told by two less-than-capable clown puppeteers. The magical world of giant caterpillars, floating eggs, and waving flowers is grounded heavily in reality by the puppeteers. This is a layered physical comedy where the audience is taken into a quirky dream world only to be suddenly brought back to an unpretentious reality by the appealing hopelessness of the clown puppeteers.

 

This is the first Kallo Collective show for children although the style stays true to the company's universal style and crosses all age and language barriers.
