Puppet BloK! features new works of puppetry, animation, music, and other innovative styles of performance by emerging and established artists from the NYC area.

Branching out of Dixon Place's own mission statement to focus on experimental works, Puppet BloK provides an all-encompassing venue for alternative modes of storytelling. Puppet BloK is a commune for installation art, animation, traditional and non-traditional puppetry, mask, music, film, commedia, and other extraordinary art forms. Works on the fringe that border on the sacred and profane, artists that are looking to go back to the heart of storytelling, who willingly tackle myths and allegories and relate them directly to us. Puppet BloK provides a haven for work that is uncomfortable and wonderful, work that is sculpted not polished, reactionary not static. Biting, but not perfect.

"Concerning the Soul of the Knockout Mutant"
A knockout mutant mouse wakes up from surgery to discover that it is transformed into something part animal, part human, and, told of the possibility that it might have a human soul, goes forth on a quest to discover its true nature.
