The Wellington Puppetry Festival are delighted to welcome the artisan theatre company, Di Filippo Marionette! They are coming to us direct from Italy with their magical marionette production, 'Appeso Ad Un Filo' (Hanging By a Thread). This is their only show in Pōneke so dont miss out!


Having travelled 30 countries with this production and received 10 international awards, Remo Di Filippo (Italian) and Rhoda Lopez (Filipina-Australian) are thrilled to be sharing this enchanting show with New Zealand audiences for the first time.



Delight in the playful interaction between puppet and puppeteer, as they share stories through poetic movement and music, creating an enchanting and intriguing show for young and old audiences. This is a rare and precious opportunity for your whanau to experience high quality marionette theatre from Europe.


Described as a magical experience for both children and adults, this is a show for every age and not to be missed!


A marionette puppet show full of simplicity and poetry, it takes you in, moves you and lets you have fun. The marionettes are hand-made by the puppeteers themselves, and they become alive - you’ll be surprised at how they are able to transfer emotions! The show is without spoken words or spoken dialogue, and each character has their own story that they tell through movement and music, interacting with the actor-puppeteers showing the magic of the marionette; that is, the puppet on a string.
