Saltamontes Puppet Theater presents

BABUI

Saltamontes Puppet Theater is hopping across the ocean to Middletown, Connecticut
with its award winning show, "BABUI". Saltamontes invites children and adults of all ages to enjoy this inventive mostly non-verbal show.

Actors, puppets, movement, and music tell this story about love, care and cooperation.
The puppeteer / actors arrive a a bit late carrying a big box of puppets. The box is
opened but it is practically empty except for a book, an egg and old newspaper. The
puppeteers are astonished and worried. This is the wrong box but THE SHOW MUST
GO ON! Using the book as a guide, the two actors work together to create a new show
on the spot. The newspaper is turned into puppets and props and the egg becomes the
focus of each puppet. What could be in that egg and how to hatch it?

SALTAMONTES PUPPET THEATER was founded in 1994 in Bogotá (Colombia). In July
1998 the Theater moved to Connecticut (USA) and worked there until mid 2004. Since
August 2004, SALTAMONTES PUPPET THEATER finds its home in Cham, Bavaria,
Germany. "Babui", premiered in April 2006 and has continued to delight audiences since
then. This is "Babui"'s first tour of the United States.
