Puzzle Theatre: Bois – Woods – SAMPO Festival

Bois – Woods is an atypical, colourful puppet show, full of humour and unexpected situations. A green leaf that grows on a dead branch, pieces of wood that come together to form strange creatures, some hostile, some comical… A curious world that surprises, amazes, and inspires. A world that also makes you think and wonder. In keeping with its artistic approach, the Canadian puppetry group Puzzle Théâtre is drawing inspiration from a whole new medium to create an atypical, colourful puppet show, full of humour and unexpected situations.
