Don’t worry, i’m not going to post about theatrical puppetry forever, but this company is worth having their own post.
Snuff Puppets is a theatrical puppet company based in Melbourne Australia. They have… an “archaic sense of fun” and their humor is dark and slightly insane. To quote: “We create theatrical experiences that are visceral and accessible. All that is taboo in our society we tackle, with a vulgar, irreverent, gratuitously violent and comic sensibility.”

Clearly we must see more. Here is a performance they did in Indonesia with an Indonesian company.
