Water Puppet
by Graeae Theatre Company
Walkabout
Touring to outdoor festivals in 2027, Graeae’s extraordinary giant puppet will emerge from the water to meet audiences; a disabled woman, whose body has been changed and eroded by the pollution of her natural habitat.
She returns to take revenge on the thoughtless polluting of our oceans, lakes and rivers.
“Hackney-based theatre company wows crowds with Iron Man walkabouts.”

“I love performing alongside this wonderful giant puppet. It’s a joy to see the smiles he brings to people’s faces as he moves along the streets.”
