The Monster Making Machine (Ages 3-8)

Welcome to The Monster Making Machine!

The Geesala Festival Commitee it so excited to bring this playful multi-media performance to our Festival.

This playful multi-media performance invites the audience to watch and wonder as 2D cardboard shapes become characters inside The Monster Making Machine. During the story individual shapes go into the machine, they are mixed up, arranged and rearranged until a fully formed monster puppet drops through a trapdoor.


As each character takes to the stage it reveals a special talent, perfect for a mini monster circus. But there is trouble ahead, the star of the show gets stuck in the machine and needs help getting out. The story is told through mime, movement to music, puppetry, animation and poetry. A short workshop follows the performance, giving children an opportunity to play with materials and concepts seen in the show. This event promotes sustainability by demonstrating ways to design and make using freely available upcycled materials.

Suitable for children aged 3-8 years
