Chicago Puppet Fest presents:

Free Neighborhood Tour with Poncili Creación:
Hungry Garden

Boundless energy and surrealist puppets unite as brothers Pablo and Efrain Del Hierro share their spontaneous style infusing inanimate objects with life. Drawing on tribal symbols such as masks and totems, they evoke ancient forms of storytelling. Living up to the idea that spawned their name, Hungry Garden brings creation and chaotic tranquility.

The Free Neighborhood Tour fosters an appreciation for puppetry throughout the city by bringing free, family-friendly performances to locations outside of Chicago’s theaters, but areas in the city where people may not have the chance to see puppetry very often. The tour offers a range of high-quality puppetry styles in order to create moments of community enjoyment while expanding the base of puppet enthusiasts. Learn more!
