Event

Adult Puppet Cabaret

The Adult Puppet Cabaret offers fearless puppet performances for a fearless audience at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park.

This unique event is featuring Heather Henson's Handmade Puppet Dreams Vol.4 which will be screened in the MoPA's beautiful on site movie theater along with an additional award winning puppet short film, Yamasong. Filmmaker and Handmade Puppet Dreams representative Sam Koji Hale will present his own film Yamasong, recipient of Best Animated Fantasy Short and Best Animated Film at the 2010 Dragon*Con Independent Film Festival. Handmade Puppet Dreams is a touring festival of independent artist films exploring their handmade craft specifically for the camera. These films have allowed artists to build their vision, then breathe life into their dreams.

The Adult Puppet Cabaret is made possible in part by support from the national 'Puppet Slam Network', which is funded by Heather Henson's IBEX puppetry. Culling local and national talent and creating a performance circuit for traveling puppeteers who specialize in edgy, experimental and adult puppet shows. Enjoy puppet making, audience interaction and adult refreshments in a comfortable creative environment.
