GoFigure!: Puppet Punch – Wakka Wakka
Will it be improvised short performances, sketches, cabaret acts or one long performance? Whatever it is, you will see fabulous performers with live music and humor as weapons!
World-renowned WAKKA WAKKA has humor as their signature and precision as their tool, fearlessly plunging into any stage space. The award-winning company of Kirjan Waage and Gwendolyn Warnock, based in Oslo and New York, now returns from a tour in South Korea to lead our international artists' meeting.
In 2024, the MANIPULATE ARTS festival organized an international artist exchange for performing artists. As an extension of this, this year we have invited two Scottish, two Finnish and two Norwegian puppet theater practitioners to three workshop days with WAKKA WAKKA. The theme is the use of humor and characters, and it all ends in a fantastic full evening where the laughter muscles will be exercised and anything can happen!
The bar opens at 7:00 PM.
