Philosophy Puppet Show
Curious Carla & the Problem of Knowledge
Curious Carla is the most curious 7 year old in the world. One day she witnesses an incident at school she feels sure must be reported…that is until her curiosity gets the better of her. Worried about the consequences of her beliefs, she finds herself sitting under the statue of Dewey asking:
“ How can I be certain I am right?”
Her troubles seem unsolvable until something very strange happens. Her question magically awakens Dewey who tells her of a “special” book in the library that will help her solve her problems. When Curious Carla opens the book a fantastic adventure awaits her! She meets Socrates, Descartes, Locke and Kant, and along with plenty of audience participation they help her solve “the problem of knowledge”!
Originally commissioned by SAPERE “Curious Carla and the problem of knowledge” uses original puppets, music and audience participation to introduce children to philosophical questions and some of the great philosophers who have tried to answer them. The 45mins show can be followed by a storytelling, singing, and puppet-making workshop exploring the subject further in a fun and creative way!
