From the jury
“You definitely don’t see this every day: such a clever preschool performance about entrenched power dynamics, featuring bold references, banging beats, the biggest doll ever—and above all, heaps of fun!”
Five puppies frolic and play. They sniff each other, run after each other, mark their territory, all looking for their place in the pack.
In the middle lies their owner, Poppy, who is taking up an awful lot of space. It is time for Poppy to make way and let the dogs take charge…
In the energetic PUPPY/POPPY, five actors manipulate a giant puppet. Full of push-and-pull antics, this performance is about playing, group dynamics, leading and following. About giving and taking (space). A mischievous play that will challenge the young and wink at the old.

Reviews
"Flashing spots and steaming beats, with an immense sleeper pop in the foreground: Puppy/Poppy has barely begun or the oooh's from children's mouths can already be heard."
