Five puppies frolic and play.
They sniff each other, run after each other, mark their territory, all looking for their place in the pack.
In the middle lies their owner, Poppy, who is taking up an awful lot of space.
It is time for Poppy to make way and let the puppies take charge...
In the energetic PUPPY/POPPY, five performers manipulate a giant puppet. Full of push-and-pull antics, this performance is about playing, group dynamics, leading and following. About giving and taking (space). A mischievous play that will challenge the young and wink at the grown-ups.
