Giant Puppets - Community Events & workshops - Pyropuppets Knee High Puppeteers is a company of multi skilled people specialising in visually spectacular outdoor puppetry for major events. We have a common background in circus and theatre, particularly in design and performance. Diversity is a unique feature of the company with practical experience in mechanics, electronics, sculpture, theatre design and construction, pyrotechnics, circus skills and puppetry. The Knee Highs also take project commissions for special events and festivals. We can design new puppets and performances, or reconstruct our existing puppets for specific events, parades and outdoor celebrations. The company was formed in 1995 to explore new areas of outdoor performance puppetry. Four giant metallic stilt puppets were designed and built and sent out to the 1995 WOMAD World Music Festival in Adelaide/AUSTRALIA. Following this success, another member was added to the family. This group of huge female aliens was christened The Android Sisters.

We believe that street theatre is the most powerful and accessible form of theatre there is, and we are never satisfied with merely titillating the public's fancy. We take the responsibility of hijacking the audience?s imagination very seriously - we will never juggle, ride unicycles or eat fire. We will always provide original, accessible, comic events. We maintain the highest possible standards of professionalism when dealing with promoters and public alike. Our productions are suitable for all.

Frans Custers spielt in seinen Walk-Acts ?nat?rliches Theater?: Der Kleine Clown - Lederhosen, wei?es Hemd, Fliege und Hut, Koffer in der Hand - gl?nzt durch seine Ruhe. Schweigsam beobachtet er sein Publikum. Mit einem enormen Ma? an Intensit?t bewegt er sich vorsichtig, sch?chtern. Und erlebt sehr viel... Miep ist eine B?uerin. Bekleidet mit einem gr?nen Lodenmantel und einer Tasche, ?berladen mit Gem?se, schleppt sie sich durch die Menge. Mit ihrer volumin?sen schrillen Stimme verk?ndet Miep den Leuten ihre Meinung. Und die hat sie! Frans Custers ist mit seinen verschiedenen Figuren auf Stadtfesten und Festivals genauso zu Hause wie auf Galas und Messen.

?Cock-tales - H?hnergeschichten" ( Hen - stories ) F?r gro?e Aufregung sorgen sechs ?berdimensionale H?hner. In pr?chtigen Federgew?ndern und mit lautem Gegackere stolzieren H?hne und Hennen durch die Menschenmenge. Stra?en und Pl?tze werden so unversehens zum H?hnerhof und Austragungsort von Hackordnung und uners?ttlichem Fre?trieb. Dabei kann man sich des Eindrucks nicht erwehren, da? hier auch menschliche Verhaltensweisen nachgeahmt werden. Zwischen und mit dem Publikum, mit und ohne Musik spielen die sechs eigenwilligen Federviecher tierisch menschliche Szenen.
