Passersby are invited to join a beautiful, imaginary tea party in this interactive performance as the troupe meanders through the festival. Performers don masks and costumes that make them appear like anthropomorphic woodland creatures come to life. Joined by their pet dog, Toto, as a massive snail and pet cat, Spoons, as a giant ladybug. They have a unique ability to give out fortunes to their guests and they love that the festival brings humans to their home! They discovered that if humans join their tea party, it makes them feel more human – bringing them much joy!
Any human that wants to learn their tea ceremony is welcome to join AND be given a positive fortune through Toto‘s mouth!

Rabbit Foot Puppetry has worked for Electric Forest, Hulaween, The Center for Puppetry Arts, Fear Fest, Kerfuffle, The Chicago Children‘s Musuem, The Hyde Park Artist Center, and various corporate and independent clients.
