What follows is an array of puppet shows built into the troubled creature revealing the origin of his malaise.

It was a fantastic weekend, fully exceeding our expectations! Andrew and Kathy were brilliant, so joyous and funny, and as the first walkabout really set the tone for the weekend. Many thanks again.

Hippochondriac is a brilliant spectacle and an exciting interaction for both young and old. The fascination with cleaning the Hippo’s teeth is universal.
