Tommy Baker Puppet Show at 11.40am, 3.10pm and 3.40pm
Our take on puppetry is highly interactive; we approach each audience with the understanding that this is for them – we want to give them an experience to remember, something to think about and a smile on their face.
One of the best tools for education is entertainment and that humour is one of the most undervalued resources. The ideas behind our shows are to inspire and fire up the imagination, to ask the “what if’s” and take nothing for granted – and hopefully sometimes they show different perspectives of how people live and who we are. Puppetry is a way of sharing stories about life; it nourishes our emotional intelligence and childhood spirit.
For Cruinniú na nÓg 2020, Your Man’s Puppets will perform a mad mix of stories, puppetry and live music.
Join them for a mixture of spontaneity and deliberate chaos as Your Man’s Puppets bring stories to life using traditional storytelling along with beat boxing, throat singing, didgeridoo and a touch of electronics amongst other things!
This will be a completely unique story telling experience so don’t miss it.
