CUMULO at MITU580 – Brooklyn, NY

Puppet protagonist Plum freefalls through the sky, encountering weather and whimsy along the way.

Whimsical and violent, CUMULO is a puppet allegory that examines how we reclaim autonomy when life sends us into freefall. Protagonist Plum plummets through a skyscape of sentient clouds and creatures in an immersive journey of self-transformation, supported by a cotton candy set embedded with fans, and a large-scale mobile of floating cloud islands.

Co-produced by Concrete Temple Theatre.

CUMULO was made, in part, with support from Mitu’s Artists-At-Home program.

CUMULO was developed during Culture Lab LIC’s 2025 Emergence Artist Residency.

This project has been partially funded by a grant from The Puppeteers of America Endowment Fund.
