The Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts and Theater and Performance Studies at The University of Chicago & Chicago Puppet Fest present:

Free Neighborhood Tour with Poncili Creación:

Hungry Garden

Free. Running Time: 45 minutes – appropriate for all ages.

Boundless energy and surrealist puppets unite as brothers Pablo and Efrain Del Hierro share their spontaneous style infusing inanimate objects with life. Drawing on tribal symbols such as masks and totems, they evoke ancient forms of storytelling. Living up to the idea that spawned their name, Hungry Garden brings creation and chaotic tranquility.

Poncili Creación is an experimental art collective from Puerto Rico, led by twin brothers Pablo and Efrain Del Hierro. They create surreal performances using large-scale puppets and sculptures crafted from repurposed materials. Known for their bold and improvisational style, Poncili Creación often performs in public spaces, blending puppetry, live music, and storytelling to challenge conventional theater boundaries. Their work embodies a mix of playfulness and philosophical depth.
