Suffocated by plastic pollution, the world as we know it is on the brink of destruction and the seagulls, realising life would be pretty dull without pasties, chips and ice cream, decide to hatch a plan to save the world.
When Seagulls Saved the World is an outdoor puppetry show about plastic pollution featuring original live and recorded music, for everyone aged 4 and up. Running time: 50 minutes, no interval. We run accompanying puppet-making and puppetry workshops for families and adults.
After an artist’s residency at AMATA, Falmouth University in summer 2022, we took the show and our puppetry workshops on an Arts Council and FEAST-funded tour of Cornwall. The show returns this summer 2025 for two dates only.
