Puppets with Guts are creating a brand new walk about show that will be in this year’s BD Fest. The show tells the story of Zee, a giant puppet, learning about Bradford’s past, present and future to create a song for the city. The show will involve a community of performers who will wear cardboard cars to symbolise the sounds of the city and accompany Zee on her journey.
