2pm – Pico’s Puppet Palace presents Pico and the Golden Lagoon and Nice Verdes, world music duo for your listening pleasure

Pico’s Puppet Palace

Pico’s Puppet Palace was established in 2016, by Sally Miller and Jesse Hamilton. Sally and Jesse have been performing together since 2002 in various musical and theatrical collaborations, most prominently in their folk duo ‘ Nice Verdes ‘. With Picos’ Puppet Palace they create puppet shows from re-purposed and recycled materials, for contemporary young audiences and they tour nationally and internationally. Picos’ Puppet Palace aims to have their shows presented to diverse audiences globally, and through puppetry, live music and story telling connect audiences across generations. Each show is an episode of Picos’ adventures and introduces ecological and environmental issues, innovations and ideas.

“Pico and the Golden Lagoon”: Pico is a world traveller who flies around in a yellow bi-plane. On these adventures Pico is introduced to new eco ideas and innovations through the characters in the stories. Pico and the golden lagoon is the story of how Pico’s plane became solar powered. Pico is in the middle of a mail run when all of a sudden the plane runs out of fuel and Pico is forced to make a crash landing on a nearby island. On this island Pico meets David, a marooned naturalist, who shows Pico the charms of the island. Pico meets many wonderful characters including Lou a dragon who lives in a cave at the edge of the lagoon. Does Lou guard the solution to Pico’s empty fuel tank? How will the story unfold? Join Pico and friends in the story of the golden lagoon.
