The Big Niko & GiGi Puppet Singalong

At ShapeShifter Lab, *The Big Niko & GiGi Puppet Singalong* presents a kid-focused play built around puppetry, live voices, and group singing. The show uses simple call-and-response structures to let children practice listening, timing, and participation, with adults positioned as witnesses rather than drivers. No specific New York premiere history has been widely documented, but its placement in Brooklyn’s experimental performance ecosystem signals a local tradition of small-scale, hands-on family theater. One clear strength is how the format treats attention as something shared, not demanded.
