“Any production by this small British company is bound to be something special” – The Times
Fascinating and imaginative storytellers, The Paper Cinema, create extraordinary, magical worlds with vivid pen and ink drawings, intricate paper puppetry, and a treasure trove of acoustic and electronic sounds.This show will feature the dream-likeNight Flyer and the enchanting Rock Charmer, which is set against the backdrop of Dorset’s rugged Jurassic coastline and delves into the legends inspired by the area’s rich geological history.Performed by two puppeteers and a multi-instrumentalist, The Paper Cinema invite you to step into a mesmerising realm where storytelling and visual artistry intertwine.
“The pleasure here is not just that the animations are both sinister and enchanting, or that the wonderful music gives the whole thing the feel of a quirky silent movie, but also that you can see how the show is being made right before your eyes.” -The Guardian
“bound to delight” – The Telegraph
“Spellbinding” – Time Out
Rock Charmer was originally commissioned by Activate for their Inside Out Dorset festival, a collaboration between PaperCinema and Kimmo Pojhonen.
