For twenty years Blind Summit has consistently subverted people’s expectations of puppetry: from giant storybook characters in the opening ceremony of London’s 2012 Olympic Games to The Table, a globally successful touring production that completely up-ended audiences’ understanding of how puppet and puppeteer communicate. Blind Summit and their cohort of exceptional makers and puppeteers have contributed to the creation of some of the most extraordinary spectacles of recent years, including The Magic Flute on the lake stage at the Bregenz Festspiele, Complicite’s The Master and Margherita at Avignon, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Globe. Their ambition is to ‘make puppetry history’. www.blindsummit.com
