Hurrah Hurray oh fabulous day, the Ugly Bugs Wingding has flown into town!

Leicester theatre company Enter Edem invite you into their magical miniature world to meet an array of enticing insects and colourful creatures on their way to an un-bee-lievable party.

Enter Edem are a collective of multi-skilled artists who have come together to make family theatre and outdoor arts.  Our company consists of a small team who are passionate about bringing joy and wonder to families as we tour across the UK. Led by Emma Fay, a visual artist and maker, Enter Edem embed puppetry within many of our shows and acts, bringing the interactive excitement of puppetry up close to audiences, removing the fourth wall and encouraging play, making our work accessible and inviting to all backgrounds and ages.

We officially formed as a collective in 2013, and as a grassroots company, we have been entertaining audiences across a wide range of spaces, both indoors and outdoors ever since, sharing our love of puppetry and storytelling, with our ethos in the importance of community, health and play. Alongside our interactive shows, we deliver small-scale local family events, provide a menu of silly and spectacular performances, and create immersive experiences, bringing the audience into a world of playful perspectives.
