Jabberwocky is an animated and illuminated bicycle-powered puppet inspired by Lewis Carroll’s nonsense poem Jabberwocky. You don’t have to worry too much: this Jabberwock is a friendly and inquisitive beast, fluttering its eyelashes, burbling and whiffling its way through the town.
It might just try for a bite of your sandwich though…
About Rag and Bone
Janitors of the ridiculous, purveyors of whimsical contraptions and joyful noises since 2008, Rag and Bone were formed by musician/composer Tim Hill and artist/maker Dave Young to create elemental performances, giant puppets and great beasts, installations, parades and processions; worlds to wander and dream in.
Rag and Bone’s work is collaborative, wistful, humorous, filled with joy, created for the love of it, and made with genuine blood, sweat and tears.
