The Nest

Who is rustling beneath the rocks? Who is hiding, hunting, fleeing or watching from the shadows? The Nest is a puppet expedition into the unknown wilderness, where survival depends on instinct, cooperation and constant adaptation. Unusual creatures emerge from hidden corners: some seek shelter, others compete, whilst some try to outwit everyone around them. What happens when the safety of the nest suddenly vanishes? The performance combines puppetry, visual storytelling and innovative stagecraft to create an atmospheric adventure. Inspired by the rhythms and tensions of the natural world, The Nest explores themes of fear, belonging, vulnerability and coexistence through playful yet tense situations.

Combining humour, mystery and tension, the performance sets in motion a living ecosystem where every movement matters and survival is never entirely certain.
