BOOM meets Queen

30 November -1

And more excitement than one family can handle... the Boom kids will be on their best behaviour as they round up to meet the Queen at the Aarhus Festival opening celebrations…. maybe even Princess Mary will stop by to give Grandpa a kiss?

Following the opening the waltz the Boom Family and our hoofing Cows create corruptible carnage around the showgrounds over 10 days of festivities. You can catch them romping around the both the Aarhus and Skanderborg Festivals.

People's puppet project Denmark

10 August 2010

Snuff Puppets are driving our workshop vehicle to Denmark to design and construct spectacular giant puppets with local artists. A two-week People’s Puppet Project workshop is being held at the Peter Sabroe School in Århus.

The 30 workshop participants are a bunch of young local artists who will collaborate with Snuff Puppets. Together we'll design, build and concoct a giant puppet theater work.

Puppets at Fed Square

12 May 2010

Head to into the city in July for an explosion of shameless Snuff Puppet shenanigans. Dressed up like a bull that’s won first prize at the show, is the bootlicking line-dancing Cowboy parading his herd of life-sized cows round the square. An awkwardly shy though curious bunch, don’t be surprised if the cows let themselves loose….

Come the meet the Boom Family – meddlesome Mum and dawdling Dad are taking the kids, Scotty and Kelly, out on the town but while Grandpa’s determined to dilly-dally around they’ll be getting no place fast.

See you there from the 5th - 11th July, checkout Puppets at Fed Square.

Boom Family on holiday at Shanghai World Expo

31 March 2010

Roaming the streets at the Shanghai World Expo is the world-traveled Snuff Puppets’ Boom Family. It’s a timely holiday for the family who are coming out of retirement to entertain the crowds.

Closely following the Booms are those pestering giant seagulls followed by a clambering herd of life-sized cows. Puppet madness and mayhem are sure to ensue.

Snuff Clubb – Melbourne Fringe Festival

15 September 2009

Building on a tradition of presenting unorthodox theatre, Snuff Puppets presents Snuff Clubb for Melbourne Fringe 2009.

Not just a night in the theatre, but a cabaret club gone wild, with never before seen giant puppets, live music and special guest performance acts.

As the night unfolds the inner machinations of the characters’ twisted psyches are revealed as the Clubb itself begins to unravel. Be prepared to be lead through a grotesquely surreal physical transformation, as everything and anything can happen.

Show runs 25th September to 10th October. See Melbourne Fringe Festival
