Hope's Choice


Street theatre, using giant puppets, actors and performance artists, is a highly visible performance medium that invites and engages an audience. It takes concepts and represents them in extreme visual forms, making them more accessible to people across socio-economic, generational, cultural and linguistic boundaries. In Hope's Choice, key elements about tobacco control are turned into compelling visual vignettes. These vignettes are linked into a collage of artistic and physical expression through giant puppetry, stilt-walking, music, masks movement and humor.
