Explore the Magic of Humans Through the Eyes of Sea Creatures

By Nehprii Amenii of New York, NY

“At the Bottom of the Ocean Where the Darkness Meets the Stars, the Octopus will Tell the Story of a thing once called the HUMAN being…”

Now that Humans are extinct and the world as we knew it has ended, the Octopus has a decision to make… Will it be willing to give up one of its 3 hearts to create a new, more sensitive human being? Will it be willing to give humanity a second chance?

Told through the windows of a sunken submarine, using a variety of puppetry styles, dance, and toe-tapping original music– “HUMAN” explores humanity’s impact on the environment and asks families to explore what it truly means to be HUMAN.

Octopus String Puppet

Your All-Inclusive Performance ticket includes the show, admission to the Worlds of Puppetry Museum, and a Create-A-Puppet™ Workshop. The puppet is based on the style of puppetry or character used in the production.

Visitors can create an Octopus String Puppet, inspired by the character from HUMAN.

Puppetry NOW

Puppetry NOW turns the museum’s focus to the art of our time and artists with limited representation in our historical collections.
Through an annual solo exhibition and collecting efforts, the initiative provides space and support to puppeteers and artists of color, while increasing the museum’s connection to the current state of puppetry.
