Show Of Hands is a live theatre performance that features five puppeteers, a musician and lots of exciting tech.
Puppets are projected onto a movie screen, with puppeteers performing live on stage below them. Performers improvise outside of their own body and into the body of a puppet, playing within the space framed by a video camera’s lens. The audience can watch the puppets projected onto the screen as well as the performers live on stage below them.

Like “Whose Line Is It Anyway” meets “The Muppet Show”, this technically intriguing show is performed using monitor puppetry.
