The Hurt Monster: An Original Puppet Theater Experience
Redhouse

Redhouse at City Center
400 S. Salina St., Syracuse

When the stars vanish from the sky, young Kiya encounters a legendary creature ... who may hold the key to restoring them.? The journey becomes a gentle metaphor for resilience, empathy, and emotional growth. The Hurt Monster is a puppet theatre experience about big feelings: how we carry them, make sense of them, and begin to care for others. In a time when many are navigating anxiety, loneliness, and disconnection, this story creates space for those feelings to be seen, named, and shared.

Produced by Dusty & Dott Company and Malafronte's Monster Shop with support from the Jim Henson Foundation for its world premiere at Redhouse Arts Center.
