Everything That Follows

LOCO7 DANCE PUPPET THEATRE COMPANY
| Puppet Festival 2026
November 19 – 23

[Program tbd]

Runtime: 60 minutes

a visceral dance puppet theatre piece about what it means to be human.

Through movement, puppetry, and visual art, the work dives into the messy, fragile, and often surreal experience of being alive—our need for connection, our instinct to survive, and our constant struggle to adapt and transform.

Drawing inspiration from the natural world, the piece blurs the boundaries between human, animal, and environment. Bodies and puppets collide, evolve, and come to life in a dreamlike landscape where vulnerability becomes strength, connection becomes survival, and transformation is inevitable.

A visually striking and emotionally charged exploration of who we are, how we relate to one another, and what it takes to remain human in a world that is constantly changing.
