Using cameras, puppets, and diorama sets, five performers weave together a live animation told from the perspective of a dog. A delicate, eerie, and amusing look at three lives, human and non-human, from emerging live-cinema company Buzzcut. A “sold out must see” (★★★★ Beyond the Curtain) from Edinburgh Fringe 2024.
