A celebration of South Africa’s unique natural heritage, Puppet Planet uses puppetry, music and dance to tell science-related stories – with nine-year-old Thandi and her dog, Ogies, at the helm.

Meet our newest puppet, Bomvu, which is the isiXhosa word for red. Bomvu was lovingly made by the talented Marelize Viljoen of Kukus Puppets and he represents the planet Mars - also known as the red planet, which is how he got his name.
Even though he is smaller than Earth, he is a strong volcano champion with the biggest volcanoes in the whole solar system! But most of all, Bomvu is tough and survives in freezing cold temperatures, wild winds, and a thin atmosphere.
Stay tuned to find out about our upcoming events where you will have a chance to meet Bomvu and his friends!
