For those who don’t immediately turn away from the title, “The Sex Lives of Puppets” offers a fun, frank, and fascinating exploration of humanity. Worries, fears, hang-ups, and desires are translated through highly skilled puppetry, as interview scenes cast puppet couples talking about their sex lives. Written by Mark Down of Blind Summit, a cohort of exceptional makers and puppeteers expanding the definition of a puppet, this collaboration with the UK’s National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles pulls from real-life conversations to get puppets talking dirty. Everything from sexting and dating apps to porn and sexual wellbeing is on the literal table. Goes until Feb 21.
