Join us on an amazing historical, scientific, multi-cultural, and fun-filled journey as civilization uncovers the mysteries of 
 ELECTRICITY!

 Audiences learn how the discovery of Earth’s invisible magnetic force and static electricity led to a useful understanding of electromagnetic energy.  Puppets portray historical figures and famous scientists who employ the process of careful observation and build on each other’s knowledge, to make related discoveries in various parts of the world resulting in the invention of the compass, the lightning rod, the battery, the motor, and the electric light bulb. 

Performed with large Bunraku style table-top puppets
Featuring the rhyming duo of FLOW and FLOW

"What an amazing performance!  I can honestly say I've never seen such a wonderful display of blending art elements while teaching scientific facts.  I was truly impressed with your ability to capture the attention of the audience while creating a space conducive to learning science and developing an appreciation for theatrical art.   It was incredibly entertaining and delightfully educational! Thank you for sharing your talents with us."
