About

The Paper Cinema

Short tales of ghosts, dreams, and other worlds.

Fascinating and imaginative storytellers, The Paper Cinema, create extraordinary, magical worlds with vivid pen and ink drawings, puppetry, and a treasure trove of acoustic and electronic sounds.

In this show two puppeteers and a multi- instrumentalist create live animated supernatural stories, including the dream-like Night Flyer, humorous Devil in Cornwall, spooky Wanderer and Edgar Allan Poe's King Pest.
