New page

''[[Ouroboros]]'' is a collaborative puppet theatre production by [[Janni Younge]] (1955-) and the [[Handspring Puppet Company]].

==The original text==

From Jenni Younge's website:

"''[[Ouroboros]]'' is a production about time, relationship and the cycles of life, created with evocative, multimedia imagery. At its heart, it is a love story between a dancer and a poet finding the courage to commit. Using the uniquely transforming powers of the puppetry medium, the two central characters appear as several versions of themselves. Audiences witness the unfolding drama of their lives from birth to death. Their interactions form a web of relationships, revealing the interdependence of the past, present and future.

The production is inspired by the work of US Poet Laureate Billy Collins; whose work Aristotle underpins the narrative. Predominantly wordless, ''[[Ouroboros]]'' explores the internal dynamics of relationship through the interactions of the puppet characters, shadow imagery and animated projections."
