Performance Length

90 minutes including a 10 minute intermission.

Set on the windowsill of a recently deceased Grandmother's home, Bug Ballet is a large puppet and dance spectacle told through movement and original music, centered on the creeping, otherworldly, and often overlooked creatures we share our lives and homes with. Bug Ballet takes inspiration from the virtuosity of ballet form, but throws many of the typical rules and structures out the window, replacing them with giant puppets and theatrical dance.

Bug Ballet is directed and produced by Orren Fen and Katie Burgess with choreography by Arwen Wilder and a live score composed by Adrian Cox-Thurmond 

What will happen when we are gone and our homes sit empty, deteriorating, decomposing?

Maybe if we are lucky they will become grand stages for the Bug Ballet!
