Puzzle Théâtre's "Bois"

  • Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine 250 Thompsons Point Road Portland, ME, 04102 United States (map)
Two puppeteers animate a creatures made of wood with round curious eyes.

Individual tickets are available for $18 via the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine website.

A green leaf that grows on a dead branch, pieces of wood that come together to form strange creatures, some hostile, some comical...

A curious world that surprises, amazes, and inspires. A world that also makes you think and wonder.

In keeping with its artistic approach, Puzzle Théâtre is once again drawing inspiration from a whole new medium to create an atypical, colourful puppet show, full of humour and unexpected situations.
