The Paper Escaper | Puppetry Adventure

The Paper Escaper is at Geelong Arts Centre on Monday 4th August 2025.

Terrapin's The Paper Escaper is a visually stunning puppetry adventure that delights children and captivates adults alike.

Written by Gita Bezard, the story follows a vibrant paper puppet who escapes the pages of a book in search of their own path-sparking a creative journey filled with friendship

PUPPETRY | IMAGINATIVE | CREATIVE

Benny, the plucky puppet protagonist in The Paper Escaper, knows they are destined for greater things than a simple pop -up book.

But in a world that's trying to squash Benny between its pages - from a wily dancing fire to a disillusioned illustrator -Benny will need the help of a new friend to achieve their dreams.

Written by Gita Bezard of The Last Great Hunt, this delightful, funny and inspiring production features inventive puppetry, deft physical performance and an intricate and engaging soundtrack.

Benny doesn't want to tell the story 'The Maker' has written for them. As their parents get nervous about the consequences of defying the 'The Maker', Benny rips themself from his story. Alone and in an unknown land, Benny comes across a mysterious tentacle and friendship blooms.

But 'The Maker' is determined and his fire is hungry-and Benny and their friend must work together to survive.
