NEWS:  It's 2018! We're so happy to have received funding from SSNV, Hunthing vestra, Rannis Professional Theatre Fund and  Artists Salary.  This year leads us on new adventures at home and abroad. In March we begin touring Búkolla to schools across the east of Iceland through  the List fyrir Alla (art for all) programme arranged by the Ministry of Culture. Spring and summer sees us touring Engi  and Kúrudagur to Poland, the Ukraine, and around Iceland - but most of our work this year will be on developing future projects. In April we begin work on a brand new show for babies - FORM - inspired by objects in space, and the way we construct the world around us. We will also be working towards the first ever Hvammstangi International Puppetry Festival.
