A breathtaking and truly unique mix of puppetry, live folk music and live camera projection for ages 5+ and their families from Half A String (Breathe)


Imagine a whole world no bigger than a house. A planet that can be explored in a matter of minutes, yet it is the centre of a galaxy.

With breathtaking puppetry, original live folk songs and earthy percussion, uncover the mysteries that keep this little globe turning. Live camera projection brings this tiny world to life as a wanderer learns that the smallest things hold the biggest stories. Marvel as asteroids collide and discover the curious and wonderful as new creatures evolve.

This is a truly unique piece of puppet theatre for the whole family. Tiny Planet carries the echoes of The Little Prince, inviting you on a journey to explore how we all can sometimes feel impossibly small and infinitely gigantic.
