A raucously funny late-night puppet slam by the new generation of puppetry artists.
After its sell-out one-night-only show in 2022, Things That Wriggle & Squirm returns with a fresh new look and three nights of late-night comedic delight!
Hosted by The Melbourne Festival of Puppetry at La Mama HQ, this puppet-slam-cum-cabaret features new work by the next generation of Melbourne puppetry artists. Things That Wriggle & Squirm is the result of a series of creative development workshops for new artists to make new work.
Featuring all kinds of wild and whimsical puppet characters, explore the circle of life in this joyous, beautiful, grotesque and downright silly show!
