Planet Egg


“...[an] inventive, nutty and wonder-inspiring production.”                                                        Washington Post


"this is the kind of stuff Jim Henson would definitely be proud of..."
 "Fringe Review: PLANET EGG" - MD Theatre Guide

Using PuppetCinema's signature techniques, Planet Egg is simultaneously performed and filmed live with a live score of Foley Sound and projected video feed, Planet Egg creates both a theatrical intimacy with miniature puppets and a cinematic grandness worthy of an epic space odyssey. The visual world of Planet Egg is comprised of found and organic objects, crafted creations, and electronic parts who reside on a moving Lazy Susan like contraption. The Robot, his ship, and all his belongings are made from pieces of old stereos, telephones, springs, and other metal bits. Some of Planet Egg’s natives are sculpted from clay, while many are made of vegetable matter. A love story in deep space, Planet Egg features two unlikely friends, The Robot Cosmonaut and a Scallion Alien creature. A herd of aggressive mushrooms and dangerous molten lava (volcanic fried eggs) are their foils. The story is told with minimal language on a desolate interplanetary fantasy world with creatures who are all good and all cute. And all hungry.

“Planet Egg is one of the most ingenious shows at the Capital Fringe Festival...   you will be absolutely delighted!"
