Island Home
Company: Katanari
Combining storytelling, object theatre, puppetry, pop-up and art installation elements, Slovakian puppeteer Katarina Cakova weaves together short symbolic stories to create an allusive, thought-provoking mediation about a search for acceptance, peace and one’s natural place in the world. Island Home has a strong visual narrative with minimal dialogue.
At the end of the performance, the audience is invited to explore the objects as the set turns into a small cabinet of curiosities.
