The Red Balloon 2011
In 2011, myself and Soledad Zarate made puppets for a production of 'The Red Balloon' with our company String Theatre. The show tells the story of a small boy's friendship with a balloon and explores the poignancy of a child's imagination. Inspired by the 1956 film by Albert Lamorrise.
