Puppetry in dementia support

Making gentle connections

Banana In The Moon’s vintage suitcase of puppets brings playful engagement and gentle fun into your care setting or home.

It is neither show nor performance.

It is a 1:1 conversation, often wordless, between puppet and participant; sharing connection, communication, and moments of wonder and joy with those who are living with dementia.

“It was lovely to hear Mum’s heartfelt “Please do come and see me again”. I haven’t heard her say that for a while.”
