INTRIGUING | FAMILY-FRIENDLY | MULTIDIMENSIONAL | THOUGHT-PROVOKING | VIBRANT

San Diego-based artists Iain Gunn and Bridget Rountree are Animal Cracker Conspiracy (ACC), a contemporary hybrid puppet company invested in peering under the surface of things and pushing the boundaries of kinetic performance. Joining forces in 2004, they create performances that de-center expectations, open new avenues of thought, and invoke the uncanny. Their ongoing practice is based on a shared interest and exploration of where fine art, puppetry, performance art, physical theater, film and mixed media intersect. Experience The Society of Wonder’s whimsical puppets large-scale as they meander through the festival both day and illuminate the night.
