We’re delighted to be part of this year’s prestigious Nottingham Puppet Festival with Un Océan d’amour 🎭

A beautifully inventive, wordless puppet show from French company Cie La Salamandre.

Using little more than folded paper, two performers create an entire ocean on stage, bringing to life the tender story of a fisherman lost at sea and the wife who refuses to give up on him.

With no dialogue, this is a wonderfully visual and accessible performance that can be enjoyed by audiences of all backgrounds. A moving, imaginative and charming evening of theatre, perfect for families and children aged 7+.

📅 Wednesday 1 July 2026, 7:30pm
