Puppet Fettler

Imprints: Tales from the New Wild is an outdoor, promenade theatre piece to be performed at Bolton Gate Farm at the end of August 2024.

The show will be devised and written with a professional cast and crew in August.

Imprints will be performed alongside Bolton Gate Arts Community Theatre Group and Artshill Performer Group, incorporating live music and puppetry.

The show will be approximately 1-hour in length, and there will be a total of 9 showings across 3 days, on the 29th, 30th and 31st of August 2024.

The Story

The Moorlands is teeming with fascinating geological landscapes, mythology, folklore, and untapped narratives of nature & the wild. But how does this impact us, the people that live there? Our relationship with such a beautiful natural landscape and what is the story waiting to be told?

The project will explore themes of nature, mythology, climate change, urban rewilding, rural isolation and issues specific to the Moorlands.
