Puppet Show

Human Size Puppets! Hand Puppets! All made by Indiana native Jenny Ollikainen, have united to tell a story about Monument Circle. Written by Big Car long term residency artist Sylvia Thomas, join us for 15 minutes at the top of the hour and puppet making in-between shows at the Wagon of Wonders at SPARK.
SPARK is a partnership with Downtown Indy, the City of Indianapolis, and the Indiana War Memorials Commission — and funded by the Capital Improvements Board. It is a continuation of our work last year and in 2015 on the Circle.
At Big Car, we approach our work at the Circle as a site- and community-specific socially engaged art and creative placemaking project. The SPARK on the Circle pop-up park was collaboratively designed with Indianapolis-based Merritt Chase to be a restorative public place where people of all walks of life can relax, play, socialize, and engage with art and artists in the heart of our city.
