This colourful interactive installation transforms traditional puppet theatre into a mechanical game. Populated by eccentric characters inspired by English Punch and Judy shows, these miniature wooden stages feature puppets operated directly by visitors using levers and buttons. Two players engage in frantic, comedic duels, turning spectators into active creators of their own show.
Peus de Porc is a Catalan puppet company founded by puppeteer, craftsman and technician Xesco Quadras. The company fuses traditional puppetry, mechanical objects, street theatre and custom visual engineering, and has earned accolades at major Spanish festivals.
