Hopeful Monsters

From simple organisms to giant beasts, this is a story of evolution told entirely with hands.

Combining visual theatre, an original soundtrack and puppetry Hopeful Monsters is a playful exploration of all living things being made of the same fundamental building blocks. Constantly shifting and changing, human hands move and morph in unusual ways, creating unexpected creatures as we journey through water, earth and air.

It’s a story of survival and struggle, of connection and transformation. A reminder of the playfulness of living. After all, we humans are animals too.
