POP UP PUPPET CINEMA is an inventive theatrical experience that takes the movies we love and transforms them into engaging puppet parodies.

Our shows are a creative collision of Punch and Judy with the glitz of Hollywood, where we lovingly condense and mock classic films like “Back to the Future,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” and “The Shining”. Each performance is a 20-30 minute spectacle, filled with humour, warmth, and a respectful nod to the original masterpieces.
