An instant classic created by Puppet Beings Theatre, The Paper Play harnesses the properties of paper in a puppet play that connects three different stories. By cutting, folding and joining paper in creative ways, The Paper Play completely reimagines paper as a storytelling and creative medium.
〈The Park〉
As a little boy plays with a ball in the park, it unexpectedly brings him closer to an old man whom he has been afraid of. Puppets, lights and music all highlight this touching story of caring for the elderly.
〈Little Windmills〉
Eager to attract attention, a little paper windmill tries again and again to compete with other windmills. In the end, it learns to confident in itself: everyone is unique, and it is best to simply be yourself.
〈The Paper Play〉
In this wild and creative ride, paper is playfully transformed into a wide range of different characters, completely reimagining the properties and possibilities of paper.
