Don’t be fooled by the name of this Festival…it’s not just for kids. Meet some of Israel’s most talented puppeteers as they tell their stories through puppets. There are 35 plays, shows and tours over 5 days for all ages!
This year’s festival theme is “The Future”. The festival will feature special shows and projects that reflect thoughts about the future, space, technology and the search for humanity in the digital age.
FUTURE – Multi-disciplinary outdoor family event – 5.30pm & 6.30pm, daily (Ages 3+)
At Jerusalem’s Liberty Bell Park there is a gate, and behind the gate awaits… the future! Over twenty artists have concocted original, interactive creations for you: installations, shows, movement, voice and sound performances. You are welcome to wander among creations about the future and explore them through play, laughter, your gaze, movement, imagination, touch or a rain song.
