The Pollutos
Puppetry and live music combine to create a powerful performance with an environmentally-friendly punch
The Polluto family throw all their rubbish into the garden, and never recycle. Piece after piece, the items pile up - until the mound gets so tall, they realise they can’t open their door to leave home anymore.
Exploring the environment and our relationship to it, The Pollutos is a fun and playful adventure that teaches you what not to do with your recycling, asking: will the Polluto family ever find their way out?
“The Pollutos captures the magic of performance and weaves a wonderfully modern story that focuses on community, responsibility and a strong sense of shared belonging.”

Many thanks for a fantastic time!”
