Salt and Poppet Theatre is a Melbourne based puppetry studio, spreading it’s spice across the country. We create seasoned puppet projects combining the construction and performance of puppets, in order to break down boundaries and peel open the envelope of ordinary life.
Our work is daring and different; combining art forms to create new and exciting work both with and for, young and old alike.
