Hi! Meet Raff & Raquel Franco
We are performing artists who create unforgettable family-friendly theatrical experiences where puppetry, music, movement, and visual storytelling come together.
Now Touring
We are currently touring across North America as puppeteers with the internationally acclaimed Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia production "Billy Goats Gruff and Other Tales", a lively reimagining of three beloved classics: Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, and The Three Billy Goats Gruff.Filled with humor, adventure, and beautifully crafted puppetry, the production weaves familiar stories into a playful theatrical journey designed especially for children ages 3 to 7.
Our Approach
We believe puppetry has a special way of opening hearts and stimulating the imagination. Through movement, design, music, and character, simple objects can become unforgetable living stories!Our work blends visual theatre, physical performance, and playful storytelling to create moments of wonder for young audiences and the grown-ups who bring them.
What's Ahead
As touring performers, we spend our days bringing stories to audiences worldwide.Along the way we develop new ideas, new characters, new theatrical worlds of our own, and making new friends!Our aim is to constantly explore how puppetry and visual storytelling can spark curiosity, laughter, and connection.
