Using puppetry techniques, Lemony S Puppet Theatre transports audiences into space with this striking performance for children and their families
What do a team of astrophysicists have to do with making children's theatre? Quite a lot at Monash University! LITTLE BLUE DOT has been developed in collaboration with Dr Rosemary Mardling and Dr Alex Wallace from the Monash University School of Physics and Astronomy and commissioned by Monash University Performing Arts Centres with co-commissioning support from Geelong Arts Centre.

Lemony S Puppet Theatre
Company / Artist Bio
Lemony S Puppet Theatre is a small, award-winning independent theatre company with a big reputation. We make work for adult and family audiences. With puppet theatre at the core of our work, Lemony S Puppet Theatre use puppetry to disarm the audience and go deep to the core of what it is to be human - to attach meaning to symbols and signs, to empathise and access the innate human ability to "suspend one's disbelief". We have a commitment to extending the form of puppetry beyond what is expected and constantly re-invent our practice, developing new styles and performance techniques. Based in Melbourne, our works have been seen throughout Australia and across the world.

Reviews
★★★★★ "The threads of science and humanity were so astutely woven together that I marvelled at the beauty of it. I won't lie, I shed a few tears and my heart was so full, I felt like I could float into the sky, defying gravity." - ArtsHub
