Amal Giant Puppet
with Glass Half Full Theater Company
Congress Bridge to Capitol Grounds, Austin, TX 78701
Little Amal is a 12-foot puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl who has traveled across 15 countries meeting more than a million people. She will journey 6,000 miles across the United States in one of the largest free public festivals ever created.
Everyone is welcome to walk with Amal.
When Amal unwittingly stumbles upon the cloud of bats that live and migrate through Austin’s community. She discovers that even in the dark, you can find your way…
Join Glass Half Full Theatre, American Artists Project, Cave Lady Studios and Creative Action to welcome Amal to our city with a message of hope from Austin’s local leaders, musicians and hundreds of bat puppets created by artists of all ages.
It is always free to walk with Amal. To help make a difference The Amal Fund with Choose Love supports displaced children across the world. If you can, please make a donation today: chooselove.org/theamalfund
There are TWO chances to see Amal in Austin, Texas! Minor Mishap is only playing at the Oct 20th event, but both events will be amazing.
