Artisanen (DE)

The animals of Farthing Wood must find a new home – before it’s too late!
Their forest is being bulldozed, and there’s a drought. Fox, Badger, Toad, Tawny Owl, Mole and the other animals must band together and set off to a far-away nature reserve. Their journey is full of adventure and fraught with disasters, and the animals must work together to survive and reach their destination. Using puppets, (live) video, sound and music, the Artisanen create a road movie with an uncertain outcome.

Founded in Berlin in 2009, the freelance puppeteer duo Artisanen performs their plays for all ages at national and international festivals. Starting from classical puppet theatre, they use forms of object and material theatre as well as elements from acting and performance, visual art and music to develop their own forms of theatre.
