Vagabondi Puppets
Thank you to Jo Muton & Natali Castro for entertaining us with the delightful By the Scent of the Cherry Blossoms A Vagabondi Puppets, Poetry and Play Production
Bursting with colour, flavour, and wonder, this delightful 25-minute outdoor show brought families on a joyful journey through the world of cherries! Blending puppetry, physical theatre, music, and storytelling, the performance celebrates the cherry’s voyage across continents, the seasonal magic of local food, and the fleeting beauty of cherry orchards in full bloom. With playful characters, enchanting visuals, and a touch of whimsy, this family-friendly show is a sweet and sensory-rich tribute to nature’s most poetic fruit — reminding us to savour each moment, just like a perfectly ripe cherry.
