Curated by Lejo

With nothing but his bare hands and wooden eyes, Lejo has created a unique and fresh style of puppet theater. "Hands Up!" is a lively, wordless family show filled with music, humor and tenderness. In a big, blue setting, the puppets live out their adventures and perform their tricks. A lively dog, two tap dancers, a cow with feeding problems, a whole chorus of children-including the director-and many others take the stage. The audience (young and old!) soon forget they are watching two hands.

Performed, produced and directed by Leo Petersen

Under the stage name 'Lejo,' Dutch puppeteer Leo Petersen (1974) has been performing with his simply styled puppets since 1995. What began as a school project has become a show with which he now travels all over the world.

In addition to his stage shows, Lejo produces short videos with his puppets. They have been broadcast in 5 countries, including the Dutch version of Sesame Street.
