... is a puppet troupe primarily involved in street theatre and television performances.  The troupe was organized in 1974 and has performed in Spanish and English.  Live performances usually involve the use of the "walking stage," a framework of aluminum tubes covered with fabric that allows creator/ director/ performer John Higgins to walk among the audience. The street-based performances have been semi-retired since 2001 . . . until now!
