The Puppeteers’ Cooperative presents: A Giant Puppet Romp

East Somerville

Library Courtyard, 115 Broadway

The Puppeteers' Cooperative is a group of artists and puppeteers working

in cities around the nation to create giant puppet parades, pageants, and

ceremonies of celebration and complaint, using simple materials and movements

to build community cardboard extravaganzas. They have worked with groups the

throughout the US and Canada as well as First Night of Boston and First Night

International and with First Night creating both experimental commissioned

parade works and sections, and spirited and colorful community group parade

pieces. Now, they will be bringing their festive pageantry puppetry to the

street of east Somerville. Egyptian Gods will revive briefly to visit the

courtyard of the East Somerville Library. Three giant puppets will dance, shake

hands (or paws, or hoofs), and play with the public through the mystic

intercession of the Puppeteers Cooperative.
