Squonk Joy Machine puts audience participation alongside live music and large-scale visual creations. In Manchester, spectators are invited to help animate puppets and play a massive drum wall during the outdoor show.
Puppets, percussion and the audience
Squonk, a Pennsylvania-based performance art group, brings Joy Machine to Queen City Center from October 30 through November 1, 2026. The production combines music with oversized visual inventions, and its advertised puppet and drum-wall activities give the audience a role in the performance itself.
The show is advertised for all ages. For anyone choosing a visit around the extra activities, workshops and backstage tours are also planned between performances, though individual times and registration details have not been listed.
