Teatro Lambe Lambe is a unique Brazilian puppetry tradition described as “the last great invention of animation theatre in the world.”
Performed inside a small, portable theatre box, shows last just 2–5 minutes and are often viewed by a single spectator at a time. Within this tiny world, puppeteers use ingenious staging, puppets, and tricks to create rich, magical experiences on an intimate scale.
