Lejo
With bare hands and wooden eyes, Lejo creates a unique and refreshing form of puppet theatre. Hands Up! is a joyful, wordless show full of music, featuring a cast of unforgettable characters—from a tough dog and two jugglers to a cow with an eating problem and a whole children’s choir. Young and old alike will soon forget they are watching just two hands!
