Step into the glow of Cellula, a joyous performance of one fact of life we all have in common: cell division!
Cellula illuminates the true marvels of cell science inside us all with dazzling blacklight puppetry by Shari Aronson and Chris Griffith of the award winning Z Puppets Rosenschnoz, with live music by acclaimed improvisational vocalists Mankwe Ndosi and Libby Turner.
Directed by renowned puppetry artist Kurt Hunter, Cellula fuses a unique style of playful naturalism with scientific beauty — like a bedtime story as told by biologists.
Recommended for ages 5 -Adult
