GONE WITH THE FEET
The show is unique within the world of puppet based theatre in that the "puppets" are flesh and blood: the leading characters of her shows are played by her feet, knees, hands, legs and her stomach. The stories and fables of these shows are original, comical and poetic, often with the use of atmospheric and emotive soundtracks and are designed to appeal to people of all ages and different cultural backgrounds.
Laura Kibel, musician, costume and set designer for theatre and cinema, and specialist model maker is responsible for the making off all the elements for her show; from the personally composed soundtracks to the hand made noses, masks, costumes and props. Laura Kibel has worked with great success at Theatre Festivals, in cabaret and in corporate entertaining. With the show "Gone with the feet" Laura has won many awards.

In reality, she dresses in a puppet sock utilizing it in a way that brings the puppets to life. It is a world standard performace.
