Jackie the Baboon

Jackie the Baboon tells the astonishing true story of a baboon who is taken to war as a mascot by the 3rd South African Infantry. Jackie is given a uniform, serves in the trenches of the Great War and gets critically injured: all the while trying to adapt and survive in the ever more threatening environments he finds himself in.

Taking Jackie's perspective as the viewpoint on the war, this visually rich show features innovative puppetry, immersive sound design and and an original score to tell the life story of this incredible baboon.
