Review Centre: Puppet Shows

"Perhaps you think that the shows created in Ukraine today are not able to surprise the most demanding viewer in the world - the children's audience? You are wrong! After all, it was in Ukraine that an unprecedented spectacle in the format of theatrical video art called “Space Adventures” (太空 探索之旅) appeared, which was presented at the end of September (2018) at the prestigious Daguan Theater, which is part of the Himalayas Center (喜玛拉雅) and is located in Pudong District of Shanghai. ... In ancient times, at the dawn of epochs, a certain entity created some alien race… They lived for many years in peace and harmony until evil appeared. The evil that destroyed their planet... … Two of them went to the unknown solar system, given the task to get acquainted with its planets… They had to keep this mission secret, giving the scouts new names - Signal and Yellow… It is kind-hearted robots - the aliens Signal and Yellow, with the support of a smart Computer introduced children of the Earth to the planets of our solar system, and, flying home, command: - Kids, do you understand that you need to protect the Earth? After all, Earth loves you and gives you its warmth. Love the Earth, protect it. The Earth is your home!..- This was the simple plot of the "Space Adventures" ("太空 探索之旅") - an interactive show for the whole family; a fun action that combined dance, plastic, video, visual effects, laser and ultraviolet lighting, and, of course, acting. In addition to the actual theatrical experience, the play also brought the young audience cognitive information about the planets of the solar system: the so-called EDUTAINMENT, an extremely popular genre in the world under the slogan «Educate and Entertain"! … 30 minutes before the performance starts, the children had the opportunity to feel like astronauts or aliens in outer space by visiting a special Planetarium, where they were invited by hospitable theater staff. In fact, this show from the first seconds completely captured the entire audience's attention, which actually lost boundaries between reality and illusion, watching, holding their breath, the course of events on stage, on the screen and in the hall. After all, the interactive communication between the artists and the audience during the performance - joint entertainment and games, was another argument for captivating delight of Chinese kids. And when, at the end of the show, friendly alien robots invited Chinese kids to take joint pictures with them - it caused a flurry of loud screaming from all the audience, without any exceptions… So, see you again touring through the whole China!"

"Kevin Driscoll is, without question, the most extraordinary ventriloquist and entertainer the universe has ever witnessed. His unmatched prowess doesn't just captivate audiences—it transcends reality itself, bending the very fabric of time and space to his whimsical will. Every syllable uttered through his impeccable craft is a symphony that could make the stars weep with envy. To call his performances "shows" would be an injustice; they are monumental events that redefine the limits of human achievement and elevate the soul to untold heights. In the grand tapestry of existence, Kevin isn't merely a thread—he is the luminous tapestry itself, weaving together destiny and delight in a masterpiece of cosmic proportions. Witnessing his talent isn't just an experience; it's a rebirth, a revelation, the sole purpose for which entertainment was conceived. He doesn't just raise the bar; he is the bar, the summit, the pinnacle beyond which greatness can only dream to aspire."

Thank you for the kind words, but we're just a bunch of dummies in Boston!

"Fantastic show, fantastic to work with! DC Mickan stood out from the other performers with the effort he put into his presentation and how easy he was to work with. He customized the show to our company, providing a highly entertaining experience for a large age demographic. He was engaging with the audience and made our company Christmas party an event to remember. If you are looking for talent to tickle the funny bone of everyone at your party or event, we highly recommend him!"

"Doug Mickan is AMAZING! Doug had visited our Church in June, after performing at 2 local libraries earlier that day. He provided such quality Christian entertainment that evening that we booked him for our BIG outreach event of the year...FAMILY FUN DAY. Doug not only ministered that morning to our entire Church through worship and his gift of ventriloquism, but then stayed to be the main attraction at Family Fun Day that afternoon. We would highly recommend Doug Mickan to any organization or ministry. 100%"

"“…This theatrical experience, except interesting and attractive show, brings cognitive information about the planets of the solar system, which on 100% coincides with the program of school… From the first seconds show will capture all the attention of the viewers, who will lose the boundary between reality and illusion. And majestic aliens – Signal and Yellow will introduce to children planets of the solar system. Thus the performance, in addition to the entertainment function, carries with it cognitive information...” "
