How To Hug a Porcupine

Tickets available starting September 9th - Details to follow.
A puppeteer arrives to perform a dusty 1954 educational presentation about porcupines, just as it was originally intended. But as the lecture begins to unravel, the show transforms into an inventive theatrical adventure filled with live puppetry, video, and surprising visual storytelling. Inspired by the famous "porcupine dilemma," How to Hug a Porcupine is a funny, heartfelt exploration of how we get close to one another without getting hurt.

Un marionnettiste arrive pour présenter un exposé éducatif poussiéreux de 1954 sur les porcs-épics, fidèle à sa conception originale. Mais alors que la conférence déraille, le spectacle se métamorphose en une aventure théâtrale inventive mêlant marionnettes en direct, vidéo et narration visuelle surprenante. Inspiré du célèbre « dilemme du porc-épic », Comment serrer un porc-épic dans ses bras est une exploration drôle et touchante de la manière dont nous pouvons nous rapprocher les uns des autres sans nous blesser.
