I mentioned performances of Nyet Nyet’s Picnic, by the Snuff Puppets, at the Big West Festival recently. At Flickr, Peter Stuckings has some great photographs of some of the puppets, starting here. Thanks to Jose at titereblog for finding them.

If you are in Melbourne, The Big West Festival in Maribyrnong looks as if it will be a good time. Full program details are available here.

For puppetry fans it’s a chance to catch Snuff Puppet’s Nyets Nyet’s Picnic; Men of Steel, a high energy cookie cutter kitchen puppetry extravaganza; the disturbing crocheting that is Foxy’s House of Horror; and others.

The venue is the Village (the Village Railway Reserve behind Footscray Station, McNab Ave, Footscray). Entrance will be free during People’s Day
on Saturday from 1 – 7.30 pm.
