Lose yourself in the woods and follow the scent of sugar in this classic tale by The Brother’s Grimm, told through storytelling, shadow-puppetry and live music.

The Clockwork Moth have been making shadow-puppetry since 2006. Their work is mesmerising, darkly funny and exquistely detailed, inspired by the likes of Jan Pienkowski and Lotti Reineger. Hansel & Gretel is their second foray into the magic world of Grimm’s.

“…twilight entertainment, a place of dim light and mysterious figures emerging from the night. I almost envy the very young children in the audience; this will be something to linger in their dreams, a sibilant whisper interrupting their future lives as adults. Whispering of magic in the dark.” – Alexander Winfield, Animations Online

This is part of the Jellyfish Festival of Puppetry and Storytelling, ten magical shows for children running throughout winter 2020 in Buckfastleigh
