The Squabble – Lempen Puppet Theatre Company 

There is sand, blue sky, sunshine and the breath of the sea... a hand appears, becomes animal, then comes another! Together they must share this small corner of land. This involves discovery of the other, playfulness, intolerance, conflict, argument, destruction, and then... reconciliation in the rain.After the storm, the mood calms down, there is tenderness, love and peace...Two hands meet, play, quarrel and reconcile. What could be simpler? Life told and summarised with two hands. The puppet and the theatre in the most simple of settings. A little moment as warm as the sun, to hold in your hands. This show was born from a particular desire to address very young children with hands; they are both hands as objects and hands as characters. From the hands come the caresses, the blows, the prohibitions, the directions, the hugs...
