Terrapin Puppet Theatre, founded in 1981 by Jennifer Davidson in Hobart, Tasmania, is a pioneer in contemporary puppetry. Known for giant roving puppets, interactive installations, and theatre works crafted for audiences of all ages, Terrapin has toured internationally and earned recognition on stages from the Lincoln Center to the Sydney Opera House. Their signature works blend visual storytelling with music, often without spoken words, inviting broad audiences to share in the magical language of puppetry.
